the stars have it

a star on police uniforms
different than a star on a dressing room door
a star on a Sunday School attendance page
A star on a Christmas tree
Not the same as a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame

a starry night made famous by Van Gogh
stars in her eyes
star student
stargazer
starlight
the northern star

so many stars
plastered on the ceiling of my mind
