This cloying humid heat
Doesn't bother the ants
Or certain kinds of plants
Who thrive outside
While inside air conditioned
Cubes we hide

Random Rhymes From An Expat Living A Long Way From Home

Far Out (By Philip Larkin)
Beyond the bright cartoons
Are darker spaces where
Small cloudy nests of stars
Seem to float on the air.
These have no proper names:
Men out alone at night
Never look up at them
For guidance or delight.
For such evasive dust
Can make so little clear:
Much less is known than not,
More far than near.
