stars

the sky was full of wishing stars today
and not only the sky
but all of the air

in between houses
underneath cars
past trees
traffic lights
bicycles
people's hair
everywhere
were floating
these stars

but they looked
different
from the ones at home

they were bigger
and they sparkled
and they looked
like plastic
but they weren't
and the seeds
in the middle
looked like plastic
but they weren't

one swished right past me
so close i could've caught it
but i didn't

because i didn't
feel like wishing
for anything
