Who knows if the moon’s (CP 129)

VIIwho knows if the moon’sa balloon,coming out of a keen cityin the sky—filled with pretty people?(and if you should and i should

get into it,if theyshould take me and take you into their balloon,why thenwe’d go up higher with all the pretty people

than houses and steeples and clouds:go sailingaway and away sailing into a keencity which nobody’s ever visited,where

alwaysit’sSpring)and everyone’sin love and flowers pick themselves
