When I meet a dog whose name I don’t know, I often address him or her as “Dog.” Similarly, if I meet a cat whose name I don’t know, I often address him or her as “Cat.” It’s only polite. It’s a generic but polite form of address, like “Ma’am” or “Sir.”
The same goes with a moon. I call it “Moon” because we aren’t yet on a first name basis.
Tell me, OP - what makes you think that you should be on a first name basis with the moon?
That fucker has followed me around the world peaking into many places I've been. I should at least know who's stalking me.
That it is always around. Just hanging there in the sky. That we've spent so many nights together. But I guess it is in a way a long-distance relationship. Also its just a pale reflection of the sun. A rocky relationship, in many ways.
When I see people on the trail I sometimes only greet the dog.
