Not a Monday

on blessed nights of late saturdays
moons grow brighter and larger
33% they say
and it isn't hard to believe

and a little earlier, it was time
when friday nights ripened
with bamboo poles that could
take unwanted liberties through
wanted windows and news
of the world that covered
the outside of an all too familiar
world from the inside

it was time for short-hand
recipes for baby faced angels
or angel faced babies
