3am

[Mark A Becker]

Yeah, good time to see stars, until you pick yourself up and have a look at the ones up in the sky instead.  (Why do they put that pesky step there, anyway?)

You gotta have a doorstep - or else I might have nothing small and mundane to juxtapose with the solar system/galaxy/local galactic group

Although thanks for the alternative view of the poem - i like it - it could be changed to 

3am
doorstep
- seeing stars

and it might cover both options better

HA! - I love the latest version, and thanks to Duke for getting ya on to it- gives a whole different spin to early morning stars. I don't think it's what you originally intended, but it does open this one up to interesting interpretations.
