About the Moon

If the world collides with the moon
the seas would drown in the Fire's cauldron

If the continents fall into the ocean
the air would escape into the clouds

If you and I were to endeavor an embrace
it would collapse the Earth around us
folded at the rivers
bathed by lakes and trees
a whirlpool of livestock
a tornado of houses

a collapse that would rewrite the bible
in countries of hunger and war

mathematicians would have to recalculate the hypotenuse
right angles would turn left at the intersections
short wave radio would be in it's longest form
hills become valleys
valleys become mountains of snow and ice


we would melt from the inside
like grilled cheese sandwiches


all this in motion
revolving around the Sun
four seasons become two
and then one
and then we are one
as the moon
set to collide
