A Poem a Day (423): Cheese moons

 
Here's one about school, imagination, being a kid, talking science and fantasy, and mixing them up, and coming back down to Earth from childlike dreaming. 






Cheese moons


You won't take your ticket,
but start small. Kid steps
way out on to a cheese moon,
leaps & bounds on the Milky Way,
night undisturbed, bright lights
bursting your mind's synapses,
telling you this is how it is,
this new reality born of old,
a whistle on a distant hum,
the bold holding pieces aloft,
looking like a science project,
but you'll walk out, hold steady,
circumnavigate that moon yourself,
make it your own. Feels like home.
