but some of us are looking at the stars.
Oscar Wilde

The galaxies, from far far away
upon closer inspection
are merely light bulbs in fixtures
like so many things that look magic
from a distance
and up close
show a different reality
mind you, no less fancy
as frankly a clever and beautiful design has gone
into this fine piece of art
on our local American war cemetery
while, Nature, the closer you look at it
the further you zoom in
keeps
getting
fancier
and fancier.
