Why We Ought to Look Up

There was a tale
of the astrologer
who fell into a well:
her head like a star,
lightyears back
until she stepped into the crack.

Street neat and cemented—
who would have known?
Well, except the distracted
in a world of her own.
Through the crack she fell
into another world, swell.

Had she focused on the walk
she might have missed
the adventure and all talk
that made her a well-known miss.
She tripped, fell, and had someone see
an image that marked
many a philosophy.
