There was a ring around the moon tonight

Paul Wong
Louis Brown/Daily

perhaps hundreds or thousands of miles wide,

I imagined myself swimming back

to you in that pink plastic dress

that shone in my picture frame that night

before I thought of adding two plus two,

like me and you in our five by three world.

So I reflected on this matter and beheld

myself not to be so different from my friend,

the moon, surrounded completely by a ring

like you want to do to me while wearing

that pink plastic dress on this rooftop

under the final boiling sky of Fall.
