Our earth is round, and, among other things,
that means that you and I can hold
completely different points of view and both be right.
The difference of our positions will show stars
in you window I cannot even imagine.
Your sky may burn with light,
while mine, at the same moment,
spread beautiful to darkness.
Still, we must choose how to separately corner
the circling universe of our experience.
Once chosen, our cornering will determine
the message of any star and darkness we encounter.
