Day 3

Family trip to the aquarium.
I'm terrified of marine animals.
So I slouch around the place, sticking to the walls.
We enter a brightly lit blue room, and my littlest sister pulls me over to a small tank.

I peek into the water filled tank and see dozens of five pointed critters.
I laugh softly and tap the glass, thinking over how different out worlds are.
And how we don't even know the other exist.
The starfish and I.
Opposite parts of the universe.

Before I know it I'm the last one in the room.
Once again, I've been lost in thought.
