I went into the city today

With friends.
It was cold and little flurries of snow chilled us.

We went to the art museum

Today, with friends.
And we puzzled over the images of deep space.

There is no light in deep space today

Or any other day.
And so all the pictures look alike (black).

Out in deep space there are no museums

Or friends
Or anything else to photograph.

There is a vacuum in deep space says science

No friends
So someone filled it up with their ego.

I went into the city today

With friends.
It was cold but we smiled walking home.
