Re. Common Lights (To Aimee)

For Rubio.

This text does not impress this reader, as it consists of a lot of tired words and sentiments without feeling or intensity. It ends better than it starts, but still...

Moral: when tempted to write What People Say in a given situation, Don't.

Best,

Geoff

: Considering stars and bodies
: distance becomes meaningless;
: a thousand miles and thousand lifetimes
: will not bring us nearer to the heavens.

: And my skin, being even an inch
: away from yours, creeps from the cold
: of the outer vacuum, my body lost
: among the stars we will never touch.

: And no matter how much the poet in me
: rebels at the thought, I know the words
: can never bridge that distance,

: just create pretty illusions and digital dreams
: of our common lights a bit more near us,
: like shooting stars of ones and zeros.
