(SECONDS BEFORE)

somewhere in 1970 or so
I remember your smile

(secondsbefore)

telling me you 'wanted to live
as quietly as a star.'

(seconds before)

'No...not a movie star
a star above a mountain above a world star! '

(seconds before)

your hair fallen across your eyes
your hair hiding your smile

(           seconds before
)          THE BOMB GOES OFF
