The Astronomy of Friends<br />
and Strangers<br />
People orbit my life.<br />
Sometimes I feel their gravitational pull<br />
on my equator.<br />
Often they are as moons,<br />
faithful, but also demanding:<br />
always trying to guide<br />
the tide of my oceanic mind.<br />
Infrequently they are comets,<br />
in vast loops, beautiful<br />
regardless of the cost<br />
of their coveted tail.<br />
Yet most seem to be asteroids,<br />
with their own lunar<br />
orbits, blank pieces of rock<br />
with which I will never<br />
interact.<br />

Relationships<br />
Pointless moments in life<br />
make you worry about every word said,<br />
paint on a face to look perfect and push earrings<br />
through the tiny holes made to hang cheap<br />
pieces of plastic which will cause infection<br />
but you will still wear anyway because he says<br />
you “look good” with them on.<br />
