Lunar Wedding

Dreamed 1987/2/5 by Wayan

Step to the high bay window. Look out
at the murmur on the plain: a crowd
in tux and gown. Beside me, a hiss:
Jung whispers "The Wedding of Filthy & Rich."

The couple mingle--champagning until
friends elevate them atop the Earth Ball.
Totter and logroll across the North Pole,
dance drunkenly on continents, then fall.

I sip flutes amid the throng. The guest by me
hisses "She had no say, not one detail. She
might as well be one of those Rockettes
the groom hired; except

Not as pretty. One more prop, in his clan's
display." My eye uneasily looks away; pans
to horizon: golden future-towers shine
beneath black starry sky.

Not night! The lawn lit by fierce sun-blaze.
I think "It seems so stark; not Martian haze."
A Lunar wedding instead? Yes! Overhead
A benedictory angel smiles blue and white:

Crescent Earth. "Sloppy dream!" I growl. "Air,
or airless?" But then these guests are careless;
wealth is their air. Sip champagne on bare
grass under domeless sky.

NOTES IN THE MORNING

A NOTE YEARS LATER

It took me four more years of saving up, but I did move to San Francisco--and was healthier there. It had partly been that South Bay smog keeping me so sick. Or the champagne bubbles of all those tech zillionaires.
