Star Child Memory

Snapshot of a moment
an outdoor poetry reading
in early Spring 1996.
Glimmering stars
and looming moon
through the gloom.

Passing through
in that cavern
of concrete, glass and brick
off Broadway.
I join the poetry reading
already in progress.

There's a hush in the air
as we approach.
Star Child and her friends
standing with me
on the sidewalk.

Glimmering stars above us
Springtime
constellations.
Poets sit in a circle
in the alley
behind Bazaar Earth.

In those early days
so late in the game.

But I couldn't remain
back then
I had to keep on moving.
I told them they couldn't get
high enough
to float with me.

Star Child twinkled and tweaked
skipping by me
in that spangled night.
Stopping at the parking meter
waving goodbye.

We heard that

You're hearing voices again, NancyGene?

You seem so delusional that's not a surprise.

You haven't deleted anything

I've corrected and restored my original text, which is close enough, Harry.

HTH and HAND.

Remember when Will asked PHJR to send him a picture with his
shirt off?

You're lying again, NancyGene, that never happened.

HTH and HAND.

Would you like me to ask PHJR about it?

No, we can wait until PJR shows up again.

See above, as the troll post-edited and vandalized my poem, now restored to original text.
