AT FIRST

the dreams you have
will not seem 
to make any sense. but 

still, they are transfer-
able. Still, you'll feel—if you just 
keep talking, keep on

describing their blithe little
arcs of motion with noble electrified 
hands, that

at last, it might be 
you and not them who makes
the breakthrough—that

the only way to understand
is by feeling it, that practically 
nobody living has ever actually

touched the dehydrated fantastic
surface of the moon. 
And yet—

after you've seen it, what more
do you really need 
to know?
