BLUE SKY

BLUE SKY

My favorite colour is navy blue,

the colour of childhood book about stars.

My father read it to me on the couch,

took me outside and showed me the

Big Dipper, and how to find the north star.

All of this was right in front of our house.

we looked up into the sky until it looked back.

The book said we spin without realizing it.

It told where we are in milky way

but my father and I don't know how we got here.

Neither of us mention it.

We do not know how to do the math

on astronomical odds as big as that.
