I came in from outer space
So you told me once
A long time ago
On a dingy street corner
Dimly lit
About forty miles from SoHo
As we’re not from around here
Though this is where we’re found
Ships passing in the literal night
In front of the ever glowing sun
That bright light
It
Just. Won’t. Quit.
Wouldn’t you know it
We’ve got our thumbs in the air
Towels in hand
On an interglactic adventure
Taking place in our mind
Is it so random though
We strangers cast
And crew aboard the starship earth
A moving target
Graciously missed
By meteorites and just past Mercury
Wedged between a red giant
And a white dwarf
What are the odds
we’d meet on that street corner
Shaking hands and high-fiving our reflection
Grateful for the opportunity
