The sleepy man at the museum
directed me to the balloons.
Ten out of ten shots went astray
proving my eyes are lame
and so my aim.
The galleries were eerily deserted.
(is people's interest in science flagging?)
I looked down the infinite well
for awhile eternally falling into it
recovering from the realization
they were merely infinite reflections.
The man's smile told he knew from my dazed look
I was lost in the mirror maze.
(Was I stuck in all the wrong exhibits
for my age?)
I got a ticket for the sky in September
finding peace in the dark of the planetarium.
