There was this boy:

He would jump up and touch the moon!!!
THAT WAS HIS ONLY GOAL
TO TOUCH THE MOON!
-----
Then came the day
He knew there would be-------one day
One jump

This was that day!

HE JUMPED!!!!
----------
Now
What happened
Is this
-----
He missed
--
He did not touch the moon
BUT HE  WAS CLOSE !
----
how close?
-------
Well
Real close!!
-----
Some say he missed by a few feet
IMAGINE!!
THAT  close!
..
Some say it was closer than that!
INCHES!
----
Some say even:
1/2 inch !
1/4 inch!
1/8 inch!
--
SO
CLOSE!!!!
-but he missed-
-------
Some thought he'd be real depressed and all but he wasn't
No!

He just looked around at all of gathered there to see him jump
And then to be with him

And he smiled and said;
---
It was all sort of a symbolic thing
The jump and  all
.
(And he just keep looking at us deeper and deeper)
.
Like

"Knowin eachother
Lovin eachother "
---
(And he looked so closely into my eyes
My heart like it exploded!)


....symbolic of my wanting to touch each one of you!
--
LOVE
--

There is always a space
Because there is always
FREEDOM...........

But

How close can we be?

Well
The moon follows its own laws
And so do we......

HOW CLOSE DO YOU WANT TO BE TO ME?

And the closer you come to me
The closer to eachother !!
------
That's what jumpin to reach the moon taught me
-----
WHAT IT IS IM REALLY AIMING FOR!
--
Now
We be a sane and sober community here
Not trouble makers
.
But see
He did try and touch the moon
And he did come real close
And ya gotta respect that
.
And golly
We are really like strangers to eachother
Like he said
.
And so ?
...

Well

Everybody buying
Jumpin shoes

If ya know what I mean
