only the moon

ee cummings proved how abstract
words can actually be
certainly uncertain about meaning
more than to invoke the spin
it might get dark fast tonight
only the moon shows
through the transparent clouds
overhead seventy-two days
how many cigarettes
have I avoided
and how could I miss
such a horrible habit
someone sick enough
to intensify
the draw
exists in this world
where are we now
some would say the end times
and isn’t that period
supposed to last hundreds of years
why are the rich and powerful
so willing to blow shit up…
