"Nights" by Kevin Hart uses a restful tone with symbolism to convey the choice of laziness. The stars that are above the speaker's house are symbolic of the expanse of space. This shows the infinite amount of options available to the speaker. However, "a path soon lost in dark" is symbolic of something that is slowly being forgotten. The darkness, possibly symbolic of the advancement of time, is swallowing up the opportunities for the speaker. The dinner plate and cup are symbolic of the chores he must do, namely cleaning up. The fact they are both slightly broken is another option that he has the "path" to go down, replace his broken utensils. However, instead of doing anything, the speaker puts his head down and does nothing. The path that he does not need anything to set out on is symbolic of spacing out which is basically synonymous with laziness. Kevin Hart uses intense symbolism to take the reader through the choice of laziness in "Nights".
