To Those That Ask

to those 

that glance on this 

     this inscription 

          traveling far afield 

a page that will be read by robots

giving voice

to what is retrievable 

by only those who ask

to those

living enmeshed in sensation

tingling with reality's touch

aye those

you few

that glance on this

please ask for the moon

if you aspire

let's teach the robots to measure this

who asks for the moon

means an un-invaded moon

a moon of mystery

not one where nothing there

isn't already dead

a moon

alive with hope

so ask for the moon

for something much more

than this
