Gained the Lights, Lost the Stars
So I have this AMAZING view, right? Like, it’s sick, man. Seriously. I can see all the way till that gi-enormous Iglesia ni Kristo battleship and that huge egg-like structure near UP. I think it holds water - or (and I hope) - the biggest chick in the world.
So I was looking at the lights and started looking at the view directly below. It’s amazing how the sound just sort of floats up. I can hear trikes and cars, and - this is pretty cool - snippets of conversation. I was actually rivetted for a while.
Hey, I share the skies with the rest of the perverts of the highrise. No judgement please.
And then I looked up to see if there were any stars, and they were gone! I just saw a great, big, orange haze formerly known as The Cloud. How sad!
Ah, well.
Pretty soon I’ll be losing a lot more than that.
