The Moon

    On a bridge over a river in Germany,
a young man stood with his friend.
"I am going to leave tonight," he told her.
"No you won't," she responded.
"How do you know?"
"Because I won't let you."
That night, he left his hotel room and
climbed to the top of the tower
across the road.
He stood at the top, waiting
for her to come and stop him.
She slept still in her bed,
so he sprouted his wings and flew
         to the Moon.
