Night and Day

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
