getting over, moving on, change, alteration of past and present, laying down the groundwork for the future, mourning times, dressed in black, the lack of music, of fanfare on sunlight days on the beach, the clouds don't cover the horizon, haze mars the sunset, orange balls fading into orange slush, just imagination, too quick, too soon, the well never deep enough, 1/r^2 never strong enough, escape velocity reached, always perched at the edge, in too deep, too far, too clean and undisturbed, perfection, 10.000001231, close enough without fear of precision, of accuracy to the thousandth degree, a reed, blowing in the wind never breaks, never bends in half, always grows, blowing in the wind, surrounded by reeds, blowing in the wind, a marchland, tall prairie grasses, savahna's, or something like that, but seas of plants, animals with legs swimming, through green leaves, green sleves, too close for christmas, not too far away, and before you know it, 1999 is gone and replaced with zeros.
