Starry Starry Night

They don't have night skies like this back home. There are too many skyscrapers. Maybe there are too many lights. I hardly ever see any stars; once in a while there is one lonely one. But here tonight, there are too many to count. There are hundreds--no, maybe thousands. They are bright specks that flicker in a blck background. When I look at them long enough, it feels as if I can see which ones are farther away. If I stare long enough, I can almost see evidence of the Earth's movement, see these celestial bodies shift one millimeter at a time.
