We had been arguing of late about the
very meanness of man, how each thing
we want or ever do is ever never much
everything about us limited so small and in -
significant there lying under forever, you
concluded we lacked import and perspective...
So I bought you a telescope, and the first clear
night we bundled and set up on school field; there
shaded from city lights by the gym, we found:
Mars at first, and then Jupiter, and after not much
searching (your fancy phone making us experts)
we
resolved Saturn, rings and all and I explained:
how not long ago we reached up into the stars and
brushed them; though we might be small, our reach
is farther than one heart might know.
