can you see the stars tonight?
and can you name
each one that you see
and count them
almost
but never
reacheable
do you know
I can see the stars tonight
namless and distant
and hear the lonely sounds
of the cars on the highway
headlights fading like
stars falling
growing more distant
and the stars we see
still
but moving
distant
but close
what is distance?
if thoughts can bridge it
I will never be far
if memories can shorten it
then the stars
yours
mine
are no further
than the tip of your fingers
always
[wandered outside after dark to try to see the stars but the unholy noises from the cars sort of ruined the effect, nevertheless, with enough sappy music playing low enough that even I can barely hear it, memory can be altered a bit for the sake of playing upon the emotions.]
