   This is nice. These were my favorite lines.   
      
   Is Star Child your child?

   Again, thank you for reading and commenting, Melissa.   
      
   No, "Star Child" was one of the young poets at the coffee shop readings   
   of earlier times.

   Star Child Memory   
      
   Snapshot of a moment   
   an outdoor poetry reading   
   in early Spring 1996.   
   Glimmering stars   
   and looming moon   
   through the gloom.   
      
   Passing through   
   in that cavern   
   of concrete, glass and brick   
   off Broadway.   
   I join the poetry reading   
   already in progress.   
      
   There's a hush in the air   
   as we approach.   
   Star Child and her friends   
   standing with me   
   on the sidewalk.   
      
   Glimmering stars above us   
   Springtime   
   constellations.   
   Poets sit in a circle   
   in the alley   
   behind Bazaar Earth.   
      
   In those early days   
   so late in the game.   
      
   But I couldn't remain   
   back then   
   I had to keep on moving.   
   I told them they couldn't get   
   high enough   
   to float with me.   
      
   Star Child twinkled and tweaked   
   skipping by me   
   in that spangled night.   
   Stopping at the parking meter   
   waving goodbye.
