Yesterday, I met the moon
as she was shopping
for skin-care products
in our local Walmart.
Her cart was heavy
filled with plus size clothing
marked for sale.
She still looked anorectic
thin, a sliver more than full,
but she prepared for waxing
from beer and canned refritos.
She wore flip-flops and a purple wig,
and I wondered if her paleness
was from lotion or a drunken binge.

Fantastic
Great surreal piece.
Maybe the moon should get out more?…oh wait…
Hahah out of the box poem
Oh how I do love a poem of the moon-this one was unexpected, I chuckled because I think I’ve seen her while shopping too…Thanks for sharing.
This is too funny.
LOL
much love…
Such a surreal poem. And wonderfully captured of the moon. 🙂
This is a very much lighter piece from your pen – I do not think I have ever read so unique a description of the moon.
oh dear what fun to watch the moon filling up her cart, you never know what she will buy next
I love the thought of the moon shopping for full sized clothing at Walmart!
Moonlighting in aisle 6?
Well, that’s different! I wonder if you are comparing the moon to the customer, or is there some binge/diet-ing lady you liken to the moon? It works well either way (or both).
Ha! Love the image of the moon being anorexic…Perhaps bulemic too, as she goes through such a pendulum swing from her widest to thinnest phases.
🙂
I love this, Bjorn!
ha ha ha. Enjoyed!

…the dark side of the moon. Just awesome – never thought of the moon before as a roller coaster dieter!
Very interesting. The poem sounds very modern, and perhaps one could say, random, but I see it as a very special image by someone with thousands of worlds inside oh his head and fingers. I really liked this poem, Bjorn!
You gotta hit Walmart to find her in this condition.
A delightful way to write about the moon. I like your whimsy Bjorn.
Clever! I can see this whole scene in front of me.
Loooooooooove. ❤
