eating at atlas cafe
---------------------
together we're heavy, our closeness yielding dark gravity
yet it is all unbearably light, a tragicomedy in levity
and so it is: that just one man alone can hold
one man alone can hold the weight of the world

i heard some news today about the sun afar
astronauts were leading an expedition to our beloved star
skeptics warned:
fools! it will be too hot,
you'll be scathed by burning light
they replied:
there is no trouble, there is no worry,
we'll simply fly by night
