Everyone Leaves for the Moon



In fourteen seconds, everyone leaves for the moon.

The best lover doesn’t need cigarettes.

 

Look back; the steam on the mirror is a hopeless home.

The Ferris Wheel sees the world with his hands in the sand.

 

On all streets, every street, all the time.

In the dark, a moody Debussy draws a heart on a dead boy.
