“I felt a loud and unending scream piercing nature” Edvard Munch, painter

rocked the moon

1969 - you rocked the moon when you landed on it your Apollo spaceship shuddered it and sent its orbit out of sync for days you underestimated your impact you rocked the earth with invisible air stains with pulsing exhaust fumes it melted the sky's cone you underestimated your impact in every city of the earth cars like soldier ants bumper to bumper Buenos Aires/Tokyo/Detroit Berlin with their little stinker Trabants we breathe in the poison of the freedom we desire we require so ardently and we must not be denied our freedom
