maybe it is the proverbial light

at the end of the tunnel

or maybe seeing out the end

of a very small funnel

maybe it is the brightest star

on the darkest night

or maybe a far away car

with only one headlight

maybe it is the playful twinkle

in your lover's eye

or maybe a spot caused by

the inflammation of a sty

maybe it is a spaceship

coming to free us

teach us peace

give us one more chance

aw shit

none of the above

just a spot of salad dressing

i wasted on my new black pants
