Anti-Gravity

We danced among the stars,
And even when we came down
Our eyes were starry, our faces glowed.
We felt the star-crossed new-found love
Of newest friends.
It prevented us from turning
Against each other,
From spitting venom,
From sucking blood with our canines.
Until it didn't. And now we orbit in a void,
And our yells just disappear,
Swallowed by space. And the void shouts back.
Or is it an echo -
I wish I liked the sound. 
But we had our pick
On that blue orbiting orb
For quite a while.
We are the dinosaurs.
We will leave glyphs in the layers,
Submit to interpretation,
Attain significance.

Or, in this airtight chamber of my head,
Is that just my hubris nagging again.
