There are constellations in me.

I fell into a vat of radioactive space dust and have been this way ever since. My power is that I appear completely powerless to you. The truth, however, is that I can see the crumbly seams of the stars, I can hear the rush of electrons in every one of your atoms (it's quite loud), I can stir things up inside your soul and you won't even realize it until one day you wake up and wonder what happened to the boy or girl that you once were. I can blow kisses at the back of your neck.

Can

The words were on the screen for a full five seconds before I registered their meaning: Barrack Obama Elected President of the United States of America.
I sipped my beer and looked over to my left. There you were and—for the first time in weeks—a genuine smile. I wanted to hold you, but I knew I would probably ruin this moment for you.

I finished my beer and looked at the area above the TV while people danced and hugged. I cried tears of elation for my country. But every third tear was for us.

Sincere as well-intentioned lies.

That is all.
