There's something magical about the night time
and the way in which the roads clear
in the same way that your mind does
you'd think that would make things easier;
that the complete eery silence would bring peace of mind
with no one else awake to witness the movement
- or seemingly lack of -
on the earth
making you feel special, significant; as though this planet was designed and created especially with you in mind
and you are the only habitant
as though you share a secret with the universe,
an inside joke with the moon
and a bond with the stars
but that's what makes your harrowing thoughts all that much louder
there's no busy bustle of shoppers in a rush to waste their money
on materialistic items
that will decompose upon the arrival of their death
as quickly as their corpses will
or employees hurrying in order to attend a 9-5 shift that they despise
in order to attain the funds to purchase said items
no businesses or traders
just the constellations in the sky and shrubbery rooted deeply
growing within the cracks of the paving
as though it's natures way of communicating via the universe
gloating, "ha! man can't take everything from me!"
