So Long and Thanks for All the Fish

I wish I was a shooting star

traveling across the sky

offering a wish

to whomever takes the time

to study the stars,

the stars that mathematically align

with your brain

and when the light stops glowing

I fall

and my existence merges into

One with the universe

and with you

So that when you look into the nightsky

and you make a wish,

essentially you are wishing

for your life and my life

to persist forever,

not knowing that

with the moment you saw me fall -

I died a million light years ago.
