what I wondered today, pt. 1

what if the stars were actually
LED backlit watches,
suspended in the sky,
trying to give us the time
several billion years late?

like billy pilgrim,
we could be unstuck in time
looking increasingly farther back into the past
for the stars that get further and further away.

that would mean that the watch I saw
broken, and lying limp in the street
was not a lost watch

but a meteorite.
