do you ever think about this quote by mary lambert because i think about it all the time
they lassoed the moon, did you hear? yeah they brought it down last night and she got so close the water that the tides shot into the supermarkets
yeah my grandma had to pick out her radishes from waist-high ocean she said that the pasta was too close the ground so it was all floating
they're holding the moon halfway now so it's really beautifully bright you can see all the rich men running up and down the tether wearing bandanas to raise money for some charity they started
yeah no i think they're going to keep it there haha, yeah like as a resort somebody said something on the news about turning her face green with little chopped golf grass how about that; we will have a different moon in our memory than in the future , imagine asking were you born before the moon was green haha
last night yeah if you went outside to watch the balloon of her astral body bobbing in our atmosphere all that white particulate coming down like plaster drifting snow in moonrocks over our upturned cheeks
the moon, chafing, unable to rest in peace
