> Regarding your dress: "Of course, I'm wearing my Roy Rogers outfit with scuba gear over it. She has no sense of humor." Phil, you've got to run away & join the circus. The excitement, comradarie of other unusual people, & no end of new places to see should get you back to "normal"!

> Dreaming I'm in a suit of light.
> Late at night in the empty big top, I'm all alone on the high-wire.

> I'm the kid who always looked out the window,
> Failing tests in geography.

> Distant shores of exotic lands.

> I'm the kid who thought someday we'd be lovers,
> Always held out that time would tell.
> Time was talking, guess I just wasn't listening.
> No surprise, if you know me well.
> And as we're walking toward the train station, there's a whispering rainfall.
> 'Cross the boulevard you slip your hand in mine, in the distance the train calls.
