You can't see everything through a telescope
you got for 15 bucks at Talbots.
But I know what that's like,
to be 21, 24, 36,
or 49 years old,
being expected to understand the universe
through the lens of a plastic toy.
I can hardly see Jupiter from here,
or the girl in the house across the street,
taking off her bra.
I want my money back. There is no use for this.
