Digital Moon

We study every constellation
Looking for answers
As to this thing
Like the answer fell between
The pages of a newspaper's
Fake sheikh sting.
We dress up in suits
Straightening ties,
perfecting lies
memorised
For in-laws.
We lay flowers down
Drink, laugh and leave
Then look at the stars
In thrall to a digital moon.
