Tonight's Detractions

Stars play all day, OK
     can't come out tonight

   Moon's unavailable too, by the way
     second-degree burns from the sunlight

   Earthlings, amuse yourselves in the dark
     gaze upward from a graveyard or trailer park

No matter what is happening here you can look for escape in the stars… Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 10/24/2023 8:38:00 PM As they tried to tell me: 'Keep looking up.
