maybe you can teach me something i want to know

maybe you can teach me something i want to know
a lesson i've been praying to learn because i know how badly i need it
instructions that will ease my skillfulness and insistence on creating drama
seeing everything and everyone as how i want them to be not how they are
because talent i have for this and inventiveness to color in and out of the lines
skill i have to attribute drama and plot pacing the rising and falling of stars
to conjure people out of shadows and significance from incomplete delusions
is a misery

the end of the day
me here and you there
a great moon rising into the dark sky
getting brighter as the sky darkens

i cross the dark space
into a bright series of rooms
and everyone i know there
has seen how big the moon is
