Heretofore

Why does last
night seem so 
far away now 
as though I 
was loaded into 
a rocket ship 
during my sleep 
and waking up 
to find the 
world but a
shrinking blue marble 
slowly disappearing behind 
me I know 
because of you 
next to me 
a stranger laying 
this new world 
heretofore newly discovered 
and wholly unknown
