living on the moon

who can explain the unexplained

how can an image contain life

how can all life spring from elements 

arraigned in random and unique order

and procreating with ease

what really creates affinity

of celestial and earthly bodies

is existential thought a moot endeavor

of no consequence

in my wiser moments 

i just feel

in my thicker moments

i try to explain the unexplainable

isn't  life a hoot
