Something about the Milky Way

The sun rises each day and all the other stars in the heavens

disappear, gone from the eye and mind until nightfall again.

We go about our business most every day feeling the heat of

but one star among billions in the Milky Way.

You are gravitationally attracted to Earth, and with no second

thoughts your feet move securely across its face. Your bank

account is waiting for its next deposit. There are bills to pay;

the car needs gas, and you’re running late.

There’s no time for breakfast. At the gas station you pick up a

Milky Way and eat it on your way to work…the candy bar, Milky

Way, not the Galaxy. Face it, you’re running late today, and there

is simply no time for an entire galaxy. That’s just silly.
