clear skies
23:00;your amazing passion for knowledge
was one of my my favorite things
about youthe stack of books
and binder paper
you would scrawl astronomy notes on
that you hauled to the observatory
each dayand occasionally

you were the only one that
tolerated my dense inquiriesfor someone with
such a cold appearance
you were becoming
friendly to mewhy was that?
