The Moon
Alexandra Fischer

​You and Earth
have been best friends
for billions of years.
 
You have seen
life crawl
from the ocean
and claim the land.
 
You watched
as the dinosaurs
roamed the Earth
and called it home.
 
What do you think of us?
 
With our urban jungles
that crowd the Earth,
always hungry, always searching
for more.
 
Turning the green
to gray.
 
You have seen so much,
yet all of your knowledge
you hide behind
the perfect poker face
 
A crescent smile.
