to wait or to follow
i saw the tail of a comet one solemn starry night,
i was laid out on a blanket on the desert floor,
i followed its movement until it was out of sight,
i wanted to gaze at the marvelous thing forevermore;
i laid in wonder and amazement from the earth below,
i had never seen anything, in my life, like this before,
i made a wish that cold night on the desert floor,
i wished for the chance to witness it once more,
i will have to wait, it seems, until the year 2034.
