Excerpts:The Man in The Moon 1Who's up at 2 am?The midnight oil has long burned outSleep and sex roll restlessOn the worn mattress. Dreams escape the open eyesShadows rattle the doorThree o'clock is the witching hourRed ashes float from the patioEyes across the courtyard catch you breathing.
You look away only to look again. You know the lonely mattress would enjoy the companyAnd your lilac-scented air could use some funk. But the night won't last a lifetime, soYou slip back into your room and wonder, What if there is a man in the moon?A Good DogThe neighbor beats his dog at 3amand he don't stopI hear her tail beating the walland he don't stopShe gnaws on his boneand he don't stopAll night long she whinesand he don't stopHer collar and chain drags the floorand he don't stopShe begs at the tableand he don't stopShe rolls over and plays deadand he don't stopShe fetches his slippersand he don't stopShe trees his birdsand he don't stopShe has his puppiesand he don't stopAll in the wee hours I hearbitch bitch bitchand he don't stop. Get 3AM Now!
