Science Park

3 a.m
You stood on a grassy expanse
A nuclear reactor
Humming deep beneath your feet

To your right, the observatory
To your left, a deserted parking lot

You hadn't seen the stars
So clearly in years
They seemed to form
An elaborate diagram

Suddenly, a pair of headlights
As they swept across the asphalt
They revealed a figure in silhouette
Impossibly tall

You could see a network
Of roads spanning the continent

Something dropped
And you went home as someone else
