they were not at all impressed

of their observant and watchful eye

many lost their appetite to touch

some distant place

in the midst of their apathy,

those indigo souls became

forgotten, dismissed, and misunderstood.

generally okay with that

it provided time

to dream

to wonder

to see

they were

admirer of stars who could not give a damn

everything here was a fabrication of something else

only the stars

present the complicated nature of being human

They are the only thing we can call original.

their ability to exit themselves and inhabit other bodies

Is a gift of life

full of complexity and slipperiness

alone we would never have the

ability to adapt, escape, innovate, and mutate

It is by far a stunning act of generosity

we can only watch this kind from the sky,

shooting across the universe as endless rain.
