The Work of the Crescent Moon

It was a little blurry,
but it was a magnificent crescent moon.

“It was a crescent moon today,”

I said, looking up from the passenger seat,
but the conversation ended right there
and didn't go any further,
likely because

for you, while driving,
the color of the traffic light ahead
was more of a concern.

But after that,
only disjointed,
unfinished stories followed,

and the fact that
no emotions were stirred
I believe was the work of the crescent moon.

A crescent moon
should not be looked at by two people together.
