It was the night flight from Houston

Almost perfect visibility

You could see the lights

from all the little

Texas towns far below

And I was sitting next to

a fifty-two year old woman

who had never been on a plane before

And her son had sent her

a ticket and said

Mom you've raised ten kids

it's time you got on a plane

She was sitting in a window

seat staring out

and she kept talking about the Big Dipper

and that Little Dipper and pointing

and suddenly I realized

that she thought we were in outer space

looking down at the stars

And I said

You know I think those lights down

there are the lights from little towns
