why is the day droll  
and the night romance

is it the love of fireside stories  
inherited from our cavemen ancestors  
In spooky caves  
with bison jumping off torchlit walls

is it simple needs coupled  
with simple proximity

is it rebellion against  
"go to sleep!"

or is it magic  
infused by the first astrologer  
drawing immortality  
in the stars
