get me a youniverse

Today I drank a sky latte with star milk

Ordered a size small so we could share half gulps of galaxies 

Poured cinnamon meteor showers on the whipped cream

Made with canned gravity and flavored ozonic  

Today I drank coffee from a black hole

That I found on the street 

While avoiding eye contact with the sun 

Kicking asteroid remnants 

With my feet nervously 

Picked up the rocks on the way  

Kept them in my pocket for rainy days 

Because I give a toss about you now

And the rain knocked on your window this morning 

But the man said to put them back in the sky

Once you understood the meaning 

Once the comet dust stuck to the roof of your mouth 

The way too-soon-picked grapes do

The trek to the rest of the world is a long one

But share this sky latte with me 

You will see stars soon enough
