I saw the moon

And thought it was

A streetlamp. Stuck 

On the corner

Of Cimarron 

And Church street

Where the wilting

Schoolhouse is shut

Always bolted

Leaning where dreams 

Leaned, a crushed beer

Can in the brush.

I’m waiting for 

What I never 

Thought I’d have to 

Ask for. I thought 

I saw it then, 

Following the 

Bright headlights 

That weren’t for

Me either. I

Think it’s something 

Significant

That has changed. I 

Used to think all 

Lights could be the 

Stars and the moon.
