Comment from Pantygynt
Were you working so late you had to take a Red Cab home? (it is in fact a cab firm in Riga -- LOL. I came to the conclusion that an 'R' had gone AWOL and what you meant here was 'red crab' -- the constellation of cancer.
Night skies here too suffer from a certain amount of 'capital effect' but the most usual reason for my being unable to view the heavens is cloud, so a clear night in the winter time is a bonus.
I love the way you often manage to to work the substance of your poems into metaphors for the human condition.

Haha, I have to change the type of wine, it's too much like a taxicab. Maybe a nice Chianti or Red Zin? Hmmm, Zin/sin, kind of liking that.
Anyway, all reference to Cabernet Sauvingon aside, I appreciate your comments here. I do ponder the human condition at times, when I get home late and the moon is trying to shine through the suburban light pollution :))

Oh dear. Cabernet! Never thought of that. Last night was very clear and the moon, just into its second quarter, so bright it made it almost impossible to see any stars except the the brightest ones like Sirius.
