Were the stars out when I left the house last evening? All I could remember was the couple in the Skyline listening to Duran Duran. Stars? Who remembers stars? Come to think of it, had I even looked up at the sky recently? Had the stars been wiped out of the sky three months ago, I wouldn't have known.
The narrator reflects on a recent experience, questioning whether the stars were visible the night before as they left their home. Their memory centers on a couple enjoying Duran Duran's music, overshadowing the simple beauty of the night sky. This prompts a sense of disconnect from their surroundings.
As the narrator contemplates their awareness of the stars, they reveal a deeper level of disconnection from the world around them. It's as if time has passed without them noticing the stars' presence, suggesting a form of existential neglect in their everyday life. This indicates a profound disengagement from nature and the passage of time.
