Hilltop

Perched precarious, on the only hill in this town
Ask me to come down 
As if I had a choice 
Shooting stars are space debris 
Mostly falls into the ocean
That's where most Earth trash ends up too 
A composition of detritus and coincidence 
Some interstellar lazy art project
Perched precarious, craning to see further 
Allowing myself to enjoy every sunset 
With no expectations 
It's not hope, exactly 
It's not as if I had a choice
Except, if I did, I suspect I'd be perched here anyway 
Shooting stars strike the Earth every day
Seems like nobody ever gets hit 
Okay maybe a couple people have
But it's not us
