The stars rained down Hellfire just across the boulevard
While Galileo turned the world over
Once, twice, three times in his hands
Then set it down, to light a cigarette off the sun
And there were young girls on the front lawn
Singing along to an antique radio
That called to them by name
And they kissed in the dark with intangible grace and whispered,
"Lord I never loved another heart like yours"
The halls are silent round this time at night
Save the generator buzz of angels
And the sky outside pulsed electric indigo
And laughed just like a child
The city is either haunted or blessed
And it is so strange that anything is anything at all
