A Moon Rock of Your Own – Helen Wickes
Here’s a fresh moon rock, for sale
it’s original, someone worked hard
to obtain it and will freely provide,
its papers, its pedigree-if you will-
as well as a brief, but striking video.
I can get it for you cheap and easy,
plus, I’ve got feathers from the wing
of an angel, tulip bulbs from the Garden
of Eden, I have the only thought plucked
from the brow, below the auburn tresses,
from within the alabaster skin of the only
Virgin Mary. I can post it on eBay, I can
e-mail you, Facebook you, can like you,
tweet you, can text you, so tell me what
you want, I will deliver, I always do, even
precious sunbeams, either distilled
or fermented in exquisite jars. I’ll sell you
anything, I’ve got joy for sale, so much joy.
