The Universe to One
January 17, 2011
A spiral galaxy
A planet near the sun
A cloudy atmosphere
A large continent
A smoggy nation
A small town
Cars going to church
A bike path next to a highway
A young man
Short and dark
Talks quietly, gently
Running with a young woman
Down the path
The cars going by
She's taller and blonde
Gasping, she can't breathe
Staring down the path
Into the fog
He watches the path
Go by underfoot
Still talking
A single tear
Slides down her cheek
And splashes on the path
