"All galaxies are indeed moving apart at an ever increasing rate" It's the saddest thing I've ever heard Don't they know it will be too late? They'll burn up only to leave The vacuum space between Adaptive we say Time and decay But morals and friendships- drugs and hugs and spark plugs, Surely they're meant to remain? Not fall like autumn's leaves or spring's rain and grow anew or cycle through...but stay? If I could press a memory in this book I'd fill the pages Instead these images press my brain And my memory beckons and pleads "Am I still able?" Tell me so. Do we start, what we always know will end? 3 2 1 go.

The Fasts and Slows of Growing Up
"All galaxies are indeed moving apart at an ever increasing rate" It's the saddest thing I've ever heard Don't they know it will be too late? They'll burn up only to leave The vacuum space between Adaptive we say Time and decay But morals and friendships- drugs and hugs and spark plugs, Surely they're meant to remain? Not fall like autumn's leaves or spring's rain and grow anew or cycle through...but stay? If I could press a memory in this book I'd fill the pages Instead these images press my brain And my memory beckons and pleads "Am I still able?" Tell me so. Do we start, what we always know will end? 3 2 1 go.
