I Want to Look Up, I Want to Look Down


I want to look up,

I want to look down.

I want to see stars,

I want to see towns.

They say they're exclusive,

like pesos and pounds,

But I want to look up,

and I want to look down.

 

I want to see forward,

I want to see back.

I want to count planets,

I want to count knick-knacks.

Neither option is stable,

and the money may lack,

But I want to see forward,

and I want to see back.

 

I want to do Archaeology,

I want to do Astronomy.

I want to see evolution,

I want to see galaxies.

I want to major in both,

and yet how could that be?

But I want to do Archaeology,

and I want to do Astonomy.

 

I want to parallel worlds,

I want to parallel history.

I want to uncover reality,

I want to uncover mysteries.

And here I have found

Archaeoastronomy,

So I can parallel worlds,

and I can parallel history.
