maybe the stars
aren't people
who just simply,
"died."
maybe the stars
are the ones
who died,
but then pleasantly defied
the gravedigger when he tried
to put them in the ground.
and so they rose, rose, rose,
up, up, up,
until all they could do
was sweetly smile
and innocently blink
at that poor gravedigger
that just tried to do them in.
if that is the case,
maybe i stride to be a star
at least in death,
if not in life.
and maybe,
just maybe,
the whole
entire
world
should take our stars' advice.
