today i wrote a poem

i'm looking at the stars
thinking how small even they are.

-how relatively small i am...

then i have to stop.

that star could explode

and never touch a soul,

never cause a tear,

or a smile.

i am not small.

physically, maybe--yes,

but tonight in one way i am larger
than the montrous spec.

because i can feel.

because i can love.
