Mooning for Gold

Your flat moon cheek
needs rubbing like
Aladdin lauding his lamp
granting superfluous wishes
to show your public
thin visage, veneered
shellacqued and shiny
waiting for the right ones to
plant a kiss and grow
favorably in your lampglow.
Nurtured by vainglorious need
to be loved and admired
to leave a legacy of your greatness.
Flowering good ones
wilting bad.
Plundering feelings like yesterday's
news lining the dirty bird cage.
Moon-faced Janus
feigned loyalty
mock innocence issued
on a silver platter.
