A shorting star passed by
What a thrill it must be having
Running against the air as fast as it can
It is literally burning brightly
As it sprints towards its course.
And what a spectacular firework it would have been
Had those two shooting stars collided
Against the odds, in spite of their speed,
A fiery show would have blossomed
In the dark background
Of abysmal vacuum of the universe.
