late Night Poetry

cheap black light stars

I lay on my bed and dream
Dream of glowsticks and raves
Parties, drinking, and dancing
Hot sweaty bodies close dancing
I stumbled and fall
Realizing this is a nightmare

Not my dream, someone else's
Not my dream, party night life
It's my nightmare, drunken raves
It's my nightmare, pounding music

I wake up
staring at the ceiling
Cheap black light stars fill my version
All glowing like the universe
Green, pink, a tinted yellow
They are the same, but in a good way

Maybe if I fall asleep
I will dream of stars
Cheap blacklight stars
