I wondered what happened to you
after you left my cloud
    for the city.
You said you could see more stars
    from down there,
but I didn't believe you.
Now you have your own cloud,
  parked next to mine.
Said you bought it for $500 and
     a couple of favors.
Judging by your sunken eyes and
     hollow cheeks, I would say
     the price wasn't cheap.
But I have to ask.
Did you really see more stars from down there?
