This is a play off of the phrase “keep your friends close and your enemies closer”. What I’m saying is, even if your friends are far away, you still gotta keep your enemies close.

Our eye, the Sun, is holding us close with its gravity to, pardon the pun, “keep an eye on us”. As previously referenced, we are a way for the cosmos to know itself, we are the mind of the universe.

We are an exception on Earth in that we are the only species that we know that is aware of our own existence.
Carl Sagan put it best, and if this video doesn’t give you goosebumps you better check yourself.

I am comparing the stars of the universe to eyes (they’re both white and circular) searching for life because they give life. The Sun is one of the biggest reasons life exists on Earth. I am trying to say that every Sun is looking for life to give.

The Sun is the closest star to us. During the night we can see all the other stars in the sky. During the day however, our Sun hides them form us.

The Universe is constantly expanding, and from where I stand, all these stars look like little white dots on a black canvas

Happiness, like any emotion, is a temporary thing. The point of this poem is to show that all things are temporary yet redundant. Though the emotions you are experiencing will soon fade, they will inevitably return sooner or later; much like the crescent moon.

It is a mixed feeling knowing I don’t have to say anything. On the one hand, I am unhappy because I can’t talk, I am unable to express my self. I am stuck as a puppet for someone else’s voice. On the other hand, I’m not stuck telling the same sad stories as everyone else. All the people talking are stuck in ruts and haven’t spoken anything new or meaningful in a long time.

This is referring to the song Heroes by David Bowie in which he talks about a love that could have been/could be.

A negatron is not a real atom. This poem compares real life things to particles in a lot of ways, and one of them was to say that our emotions;our souls, are made up of Protons(positives), Negatrons(negatives), and Neutrons(even things).
