Night All Day

Yesterday, it was night all day.
I wandered the streets naked, sweating,
throwing rocks at the moon.
I recognized a stranger who was myself.
I had nothing to say to him.
Indifference is easier in the dark.
Anyway, I’m just an anonymous passerby.
Nothing, not even the trees,
has cause to fear me.
