I can’t say why we went to the moon,
Thicket and hatchet,
Transient and hash marks of data —

First there was no water.
This explains this or that migration
and the general idea of it.
Desert, thicket, branches, oceanic.

Or the whole fire bruising
Icy earth and one hundred,
More many more bodies gathered.
Flesh and Vegetable.
They had died who came here.
They had died to ____?

Medicine trains
Sand strange dance unfathomable
How many bodies have sunk to the bottom
of this lake right here?

But the moon thing
throws me. Richard Nixon
is the best explanation I can give you.
Richard Nixon plotted so desperately
that he recorded the entire Nineteenth Century.
Being born, this was quite confusing to him.
And, inwardly a strategy to project backwards
in time all forms of expertise to enable
an Enemy some cold American colony

His ashes turned Communist in the Spring,
Anticipating Marx, Richard Nixon an
Epistemic archipelago antedated this
and other continents. Strange thing is —
When the hicks burned Nixon
in West Virginia coal camps
or tapped his Confederate shoulder
Looking to Lincoln and shrugged off
Virginia in 1865 — someone kept
noticing that Richard Nixon was made
Entirely of electric wires. This strange
Fact has been kept from the public
since 1800 and explains his ability to communicate in
Morse Code to himself clear cutting space and time
but infinitely jealous of “all that melts into air.”
Richard Nixon, is in this limited sense, the only
Astronaut that has ever existed.
Richard Nixon’s jealousy was then logically projected
onto Buddhists. To burn Cambodia straight out of
existence and the open possibility of the existence
of non-existence which Richard Nixon lacked
because his eyes were Archimedean hooks
that examined from the skies. An architect made
Nixon in the Eighteenth Century and his own
permanence haunted him. He even found himself
on the Moon which caused him delicate madness
and pathetic descent he killed thousands
and served as President.
