Look Closer
Zygote in My Coffee

Everybody says
That the man in the moon
Looks like he’s singing
 
Singing a love song
No doubt
 
Entire debates rage
Long through the centuries
 
Whether it’s a sad love song
Or a joyous love song
 
No one ever seems to think
The man in the moon
Is really a woman
       shocked
       horrified
Or filled with foreboding
 
As she bears witness
To the opening of Pandora’s Box
An experiment
Gone horribly wrong
