More middle-of-the-night workings from this year’s 3:15 Experiment
Aug 3, 2010
Vancouver, BC
measuring the good people of the universe
their birth their celestial footprint
when she left she became star dust
arriving to see the aftershock
travelling unladen as a dying wish
granted
we sped past the farmlands
what’s left of them in the urban creep
fresh blueberries blocks from the highway the
super highway the burning desire
sun stroke us down past the islands
ferry hopping past the passengers
en route from their holiday
get away gotten the stars we too
become star dust memories
it is the only thing to become
when all
is said and done
make me a shooting star
spotted by farmers across the galaxy
looking up after toil after burn
let me burn up burn out
light the way
