Astronomy for Dummies
Brian Beatty

Say whatever you want.

 No one is listening.

We're all too busy being

blinded by the sight

 of you talking

into that light bulb

as if it's a microphone.

You can keep walking,

too, only to get farther away

from home w/ every step.

Your suit & sunglasses

are tiny now

out there wherever you are --

so tiny, so important,

so very very.
