the moon landing dissertation

he doesn't believe
we ever
landed on the moon,
giving
a dozen
explanations of how they
faked it.
they lied to us.
it's the government, he says,
as he bends
over to tighten
the pipes
beneath my sink,
you can't trust them.
we pay
our taxes and what
do they do with it?
where do our dollars go?
i look at my watch,
and sigh.
he's on his back now,
asking
for the flashlight.
