He remembered gazing
into the night skies as a boy
wishing upon white threads of light
streak across the heavens.
Now he just wished the pollution wasn’t light.

Back where I am from, the night sky is still untainted out in the country...you can see the satellites as tiny specks of light moving across the sky. Love it. Miss it.
