we have so much

and yet we put so little of it to use.

"No one has the answers.
Everyone has the responsibility."

fell in love with a poem

The Four-Moon Planet

I have envied the four-moon planet.
-from The Notebooks of Robert Frost

Maybe he was thinking of the song
"What a Little Moonlight Can Do?"
and became curious about
what a lot of moonlight might be capable of.

But wouldn't this be too much of a good thing?
and what if you couldn't tell them apart
and they always rose together
like pale quadruplets entering a living room?

Yes, there would be enough light
to read a book or write a letter at midnight,
and if you drank enough tequilia
you might see eight of them roving brightly above.

But think of the two lovers on a beach,
his arm around her bare shoulder,
thrilled at how close they were feeling tonight,
while he gazed at one moon and she another.

[by Billy Colins, from his new collection Ballistics]
