The pavement splits my tires as I drive
through these blankets of black
littered with a million diamonds
protruding from the darkness,
covering the sky with glitter

and for a mere moment I wasn't just a molecule-
but miles and miles of distance between here and there,
soaring down the interstellar highway
fueled by much more than just the gas in my tank.

Author's Note: I figured it's been a while since I posted, and I wanted to write something so I don't forget how. ha ha.
