"i laugh"

there must be a thousand years of ghosts living with me in los angeles. i've only lived here for three years but this place is already a place of memory. the air is blue here. i don't know what has happened but neither i nor the home are quite the same. or ever will be the same.

i looked up to the moon tonight but i couldn't find it, so i turned to the stars instead and asked them:

"star light, star bright, will things down here ever be just right?"

and the stars don't say a word. a vague glimmer in the distance, but no word. i don't know what to do. i look to the earth and smile a sad one.

"i wish i may, i wish i might, help you out this one strange night."

i turn to walk away but all at once, the wind and the sky swoop down and the ground bursts and lifts me up so high until i pinched between universe and earth. i've never had a better view so i laugh. i tried to change the world but the world got to me first.
