10:38 a.m. Here I am, fresh out of ideas of things to write about lol. But I think I’d like to write a villanelle. And as I am as inspired by our space heroes as anyone, I believe it will be about space. So here goes.

Catch a falling star for me, won't you?
Cup it in your hand and run to me;
light my face, my smile anew.

All the world may be astrew,
bombs fall, life thrown away with glee,
but catch a falling star for me, won't you?

I'll watch the brilliance break through
fingers clenched tight, and you will see
it light my face, my smile all new.

Wars are waged, the world is a zoo,
but right here and now, I can be happy;
catch a falling star for me, won't you?

Joys in this life may be few
grabbing onto them is the key
light my face, my smile anew

Up in space, you get a different view
where gravity releases and you are free
Catch a falling star for me, won't you?
Light my face, my smile anew.

11:04 a.m. Took a minute, but that’s the gist. Going to go over it again.

My Starlight Smile

Catch a falling star for me, won't you?
Cup it in your hand and run to me;
light my face, my smile anew.

All the world may be astrew,
bombs fall, lives thrown away with glee,
but catch a falling star for me, won't you?

Just watch the brilliance break through
fingers clenched tight, and you will see
it light my face, my smile all new.

but right here and now, I can be happy;
catch a falling star for me, won't you?

Joys in this life may be few,
grabbing onto them is the key
to light my face, my smile renew.

Up in space, you get a different view
where gravity releases and you are free.
Catch a falling star for me, won't you?
Light my face, my smile anew.

11:10 a.m. I think that’s about it for today. There’s a store full of kids here and they’re very interested in the cat. And the cat isn’t terribly happy.

11:11 a.m. Make a wish.
