Purple Midnight
I’ve always been told, that staring isn’t polite.
But does it matter if you are staring at the sky?
Do the rules of etiquette still count then?
Maybe it’s not considered staring if you are wishing at the exact same time you are looking.
I don’t do the whole cloud thing.
Saying, “That one looks like a duck or horse or a flower.”
I don’t enjoy pretending that condensed vapor particles suspended in the atmosphere look like a car. It just doesn’t suit me, ‘cause you can’t wish the clouds were something they aren’t.
I much prefer lying on my back in the dazzling grass, staring up at the purple midnight sky.
Wishing to be composed of nothing, so that I could float away into the abyss, of the stars and the moon.
Wouldn’t it be nice to be nothing?
I’ve always been told that staring isn’t polite.
But does it matter if you are staring at the sky?
Do the rules of etiquette still count then?
Do they still apply to the staring of purple midnight stars?
