and you find an army of men,
crawling on your skin,
building a city under glass domes.
The cranes moving all the dirt
from pile to pile keep you up
all night. But then again,
it's always night.
Glory, glory moonmen.

Here's the poem as I originally wrote it. I decided that it was better with a little pruning:
Suppose you are the moon
and you find an army of men,
crawling on your skin,
building a city under glass domes.
Suppose the cranes moving all the dirt
from pile to pile keep you up
all night. But then again,
it's always night.
Suppose it's all a monument
to their ego: a tower of Babel.
Glory, glory moonmen.
Cry quietly over your loss of privacy.
