Misplaced Adoration

 50-Word Stories (Online)  July 2024

The sun sits pretty and
all of its well-tanned followers
look up and smile, say ahhhh,
and stretch themselves out
on the low-tide sands or on
Grandma’s hand-made picnic quilt
in the high-noon high-grass pasture,
basking and happy.
                               But everybody
knows this: All the really cool people
worship the moon.
