Not Sleeping in Moon Riddle

I'm the man who cries
because the moon won't turn
corners with me. In this
prolific universe, certainties

can resusitate a telescope
from almost certain boredom
on a screened-in porch;

in restaurant chatter, my love
orders the potato-skins, I

a sliver of my own shadow
uncoupled from the tracks.
I know it's me because the kids

still throw rocks, even when
I turn the corner. Their laughter

follows me much the same way
you do: all purple and overfed,
scrolling out from under my feet.
Why do you waste so much time

moving so far away, when
even when I turn the corner I'm
the same man?
