The Astronomer

The Astronomer's approach was quite orthodox, though now he had met up with a paradox. While directing a stroke with greatest deft, should he go to the right or the left? The stars were lined up very nicely that night, the telescopes mirror reflecting the light. The view this night was both surreal and dramatic, a scene so clear, quite free of static. With a decision required he couldn't leave to fate, he sat there and wondered as he stared at the plate. Should he do it, should he make the switch? From grape to apple on his peanut butter and jelly sandwich?
