I Don'T Care If the Stars Shine Tonight
i don't care if the stars shine tonight
even less the current phase of the moon
and this restaurant could be anywhere
i would not care
you should have understood all of this
because i never looked at the menu
when i ordered
and as the waitress disappeared
into the din of a dining humanity
i was hoping in my depths
what would you notice most
i never took my eyes
away from you
while the universe is insouciant of centers
i found mine
each time creme brulee comes into my life
i live in this moment
