I especially like the line about the ants

NIGHT PICNIC

What is what, you ask?
So much is undefined.

Astronomical is a word that rhymes with gastronomical.
Language is often general in nature.

Is is a weak verb. What is an interrogative all by itself.
The trees are carved of wood. All their planks are tongue-in-groove.
Ants are just as happy someplace else tonight.

The moon is reflecting its better half.
Stars are not the dead brought back as stars.

This is the spread we promised you.
This is eating out.
This devil’s food is not half-bad.

Dew is beginning to settle on the grass,
but if it is okay with you, we suggest staying in the dark, even if it means
we must ask what is it
before and after every bite.
The stars are something else.
Which is to say, in the end, that we are what we’ve done,
that this drink is strong,
and we are feeling it.
