From the back of your big brown eyes I knew you'd be gone as soon as you could And I hoped you would We could see that you weren't yourself And the lines on your face did tell It's just as well You'd never be yourself again Saw you last night Dance by the light of the moon Stars in your eyes Free from the life that you knew You're the magic that holds the sky up from the ground You're the breath that blows these cool winds 'round Trading places with an angel now Saw you last night Dance by the light of the moon Stars in your eyes Free from the life that you knew Saw you last night Stars in the sky Smiled in my room |

(6:49 a.m, Friday, November 20th)
"Good morning, Mr. Ben. It's about 6:30 ? Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Um...just laying here in the bed, half awake, half asleep, thinking about you. I was wondering if you were looking after your most valuable possession: your mind. I was thinking about John Glenn, his space journey and all. They said that when you're in space you lose muscle mass and the body mass and I wondered if there was any end to it. Or whether, if you didn't exercise in space, how long it would be before you were just a head, or a mind ? and have no body or arms. You'd have them but you couldn't use them. I was wondering if if your body mass would drop to a certain level, and then it would stop right there. And keep whatever you needed to use your mind because it would still be working." (30 seconds remaining) "Anyway, I was just pondering that. What do you think about...that? I hope everything is going alright. I may well wake up here in a little while and forget what I was thinking about." |

i thought about sitting on the floor
in second grade i couldn't keep the pace i thought i was the only one moving in slow motion while the other kids knew something i did not but if i acted like a clown i thought it'd get me through, it did but that don't work no more you're not a kid no more i thought i'd do some travelling never did regrets, regrets i thought about the hours wasted watching t.v., drinking beer i thought about the things i thought about until immobilized with fear and all the great ideas i had and how we just made fun of those who had the guts to try and fail and then i ended up in jail regrets, regrets ... but just for a day seems the police had made a computer mistake said there must be thousands like me with the same name anyway, i thought about the things i settled for or never tried i never visited my grandma even once when she was sick before she died so i don't blame you if you never come to see me here again regrets, regrets... |
