Stars

Last night I got a half moon in my face. I took Jake outside to pee and not only did I get a yellow stream in my vision zone but a big yellow half moon. And then I looked up and away. Before I knew it my big black dog had disappeared into the night and my eyes were dilated with the bright light of constellations. Don't look up if you ever expect to come back down. It's hard to look away from all those bright lights.

Didn't we used to look up all the time? Those stars are always there and we spend so little time appreciating them. I guess it's been cloudy lately. Yeah, it's been cloudy. That's my excuse. Cloudy. Outside I mean. Between me and those stars.
