Never
Earth, primordial veins
Cosmological lei lines
Compare, contrast
Base and ephemeral
To sensation, stimulation
A pocket full of candied-vision
Adulterated honey
Evaporating silk
Satellite streaks
Across my starscape
Pneumatic arched silicone
Saline and synthetic sugar
Soft focus in high definition
Hard plastic to the touch
Imperfections filtered
Out
Mylar stars
Spinning, dizzy
High profile
Elevating
If not, enlightening
Never
Not
In an eternity
Would I have traded
Your stars and orbits
Pulsars and nebulae
For tinsel and veneer
Never, not in an eternity
Earth, primordial veins
Universal lei lines
Compare, contrast
base and ephemeral
to sensation, stimulation
Never, not
In an eternity
Would I have traded
Your stars and orbits
Pulsars and nebulae
For tinsel and veneer
Never
