Up there in the sky I imagined up this morning
There are at least ten suns
All clustered together having a pow-wow
About ancient Egyptian texts.
You know they are so far away that even at the speed of light
They are light years away from today.
They still wear togas and flower wreathes in their bristly hair...
Or they would, if they were human.
But being suns, they shine forth
Their yellow and rose and peach rays
And I gaze up at them and write down
The rainbow feelings they stir up in me
This glorious, sunny day.
