the unusual seems to want tender
beneath a full moon breakable
a careful cloud scuttles across its anxious
angels flying hushed tonight
when the time is compliant they will bring their fragile
deposit careful kisses upon my clever
before they leave they take them back blushing
the moon tames the clouds and shines naughtily
a tear in the corner of his precious
man in the moon has removed himself from the closet
telling the stars curious and cleverly
that he waits
for the cow to jump over the moon

"man in the moon has removed himself from the closet
telling the stars curious and cleverly
that he waits
for the cow to jump over the moon"

If there really can be classic poetry
this is one.
Nice write, Jerry.
