stars

i went in to work at 6:00a to finish a repair i started Friday. it worked out b/c i was already awake and it would get me back home with plenty of time for Kristen to get ready for work. when i got out, it was 8:15a and sunny. the sun was still fairly low in the sky directly in front of me most of the way and there was some kind of pollen floating around. it looked like really fluffy snow. anyhow, when i passed Bishops Corner and then Trout Brook there was a school on my right and blowing across 44 like a blizzard was that fluffy pollen, bright like little stars in the sun. playing on the iPod was Neil Young's Truth Be Known from Mirrorball. the song nears an end with the lyrics, '...And your song meets a sudden end'. i smiled a sad smile and turned onto Steele and home, Sam in my thoughts.
