I have wondered/

where visceral fear is engendered/

what starts it sprouting/

lurking as a baseline/

like breath we just breathe/

and suddenly we may notice/

each breath/

fear is like that/

ubiquitous/

suddenly breaking the surface/

but I have wondered/

where it was learned so utterly/

perhaps the efforts of big people/

to get little people/

under control/

in line/

like smart little soldiers/

perhaps/

it started there in the land of /

giants/

among those who summoned us here/

for the sole purpose/

to be loved/

 

It is said that there/
will be a full moon for Christmas/
That it has been over 40 years since the /
last time/
and wont be seen again/
for almost two decades/
forty years ago I was a teenager/
looking up/
on an urban moonscape/
seventeen years hence/
I will have met and exceeded/
my three score and ten/
and I know/
even then I will lift my eyes to the/
sky/
and wonder
