Shower

Those damn meteors
Always looking like bombs from the bathroom window
We are invulnerable, of course, but still terrified

And the kids
In the backyard with cheap telescopes
Pointing at Ursa Major engulfed in flames

“There it is.” They say
Demystifying that for me
The other kids broke into their dad's liquor cabinet

And they’re watching the stars too
