But You Know What I Mean

When we were sitting in the water
and the water was warm
and it was like being in a bath tub

well, a bath tub with chlorine
and a light at the side and it was not like
you could be naked in it or anything

but you know what I mean

but when we were sitting in the water
we were looking at the sky for a bit
it was hard because it was not dark enough

because it is always better when there are no
lights on and you are not
in a mayor city or anything

we were just talking about how much
we loved astronomy
and we loved to look at stars

and we know where they are supposed to be in the sky
the stars
and what about cloud formations
that are the galaxy we are in

there is so much to know about astronomy
and I think it is the science of it
that makes us love it so much

you know, my old telescope is in the house here
and I think this is all a
good excuse to get it outside

at night and eventually use it
