New Moon

My father was born in the 19th century, whose eyes have seen Victoria the Queen. My father once gaped in awe at the sight of a carriage racing down a London street, not drawn by horses. My father once yawned in front of his telly at the spectacle of three Americans, wearing space suits, who were not even poets, cavorting in slow motion, in the black shadows of the New Moon.
