Mean is the real thing
they tell me everyday
as they drive on the
highways, but everyone
seems so sweet and nice
and very, very polite and
full of full-moon light
which is today, actually,
and strange things happen,
I’m told, in full-moon light
like up is down and down
is up and sideways is side-
ways, which, it is regardless
of the phases of the moon,
and that is the way it is, and
seeing that I always see life
sideways as so many have
told me so many times, for
years not to mention months
not to mention just during
full-moons, so why should
I think this full-moon would
be any different in any way?
I thought I was looking at
life sideways, the way that
is the same way from the
left side or right side when
all the while, I was look-
ing upside down and not
right side up this full-
moon day. Yep, now
that this day is fading
away, I see that people
are significantly meaner
than that time now al-
most yesterday, and
those same people
don’t drive nearly as
nicely as I thought
they did that day,
now nearly yesterday,
when I had my head
in the clouds that way
that I thought was just
sideways, the under-
stood correct way
whether viewed from
the left or right way.
