Space to Fill

...I'd rather be a star
Floating in and outta space dust
Than an ink blot
In some dusty ol space

Floorboards squeak
Like mice tryinna speak
Can't see curtains, no widdo peak
Open mic, nice.  Knees weak

Still i think I'd like to read your lips in slow motion.
Closed caption, cuz i Iike to go at my own dang
Pace.  Lines break cuz there's heart, not a race.
I'd rather read the lines on your face...

Well ain't that some ol bull,
Space is quiet, every seat is full
A vacuum.  That doesn't suck
12 sided die, kinda rando
"Give it all you got!"

Nothing tries my luck
Like open season improv
And it's past my bedtime
All I see is orange-out
Last call for Trump masks

Well it's a hard rain is a-gonna fall
But what is it drops on us
From the sky
I guess it's what we raise up on high
What we populate the cloud with
The cloud goes around
The cloud come up
Worthy

A worthy exchange
Between the sky and the ground
And worth more than a while
Time will test
And time will tell

A hush whispers through the furrows
Lush with this wild watering
Turgid tendrils attenuate
Taper-off in threshed turpor
The archer draws back the horizon
And lets go

Still I'd rather be a star in and out of space
Or rather a dust-blown page in a starry place
