The Land Between Solar Systems

When adolescence comes, u lose your childhood piece by piece. It's an impairable damage to your imagination, a settle to conformity. Nothing seems to matter anymore except some financial parameters such as lawns (this grassmoaner is out of order again so u go back at the store and buy a new one) and loans! Suddenly sunrise means nothing, staying up late could be a disaster leaving u walking wounded next morning etc. The magic is gone. Films you once treasured seem naive, music you once adored do not affect u and the people u used to know are hidden enemies or just burnt out. Fried. Like U. Yet there r moments frozen in time that come back to haunt u and leave u stranded between the 2 worlds. A beach house when u were a kid...listening to the crickets sing and thinking "this is the sound that the stars make...". U see nothing but the midnight sky so every sound u hear should be from up above, and only seconds after u r deep asleep. Waking up many years later, sounds are well distinguished. Crickets r those filthy little creatures. Stars too die. There's a perfect explanation 4 everything. Except 4 the void deep inside u never managed to fill and the more u knew the less you felt. Damned answers, why there has to be always a rational explanation. Why can't the stars make a fucking sound anyway?
