striped night sky

striped skies
most don't notice
or pretend they don't see
then once they notice
they cannot help but see
if the eyes work
and they look to the skies
then they will see
can't pretend to know
anything except it cannot
be nothing and sometimes
that means we might
never know really
but we will get a story
that is good enough
to convince everyone
it's nothing
even at night striping
the moonlit sky
can we trust
our own eyes to see
it is something
to sit under
the striped night sky...
