[00:36.065]I'm sitting slowly, I'm bending my knees.[00:38.717]Cold granite touches my skin where the veins are close,[00:41.384]stealing the warmth from the back of my legs...[00:44.038]I lay down on the stone seaside and wait for waves.[00:46.642]When I am damp I will see my first friend[00:49.287]and he'll laugh at my hair floating far, far behind me.[00:51.936]I know my toes are inadequate undersea tools[00:55.070]but my first friend will help me to be...[00:59.848]Quite simply I'm sinking and thinking of times[01:02.198]in the past where bouancy marked my adventure.[01:04.872]I know that the darkness is partly to blame[01:07.533]for the fact that this sensation has not a name...[01:13.095]My tiny child was killed by a car and my twin brother lives so far away.[01:18.953]First friend has working gills![01:21.276]My last love took all of her pills![01:55.206]My friend, by the way, is green in the gills[01:57.066]and on an average day can swim millions of ways.[01:59.453]About the nails and scales he is a silvery blue,[02:01.584]and it's not that he swam, but rather, he flew![02:03.965]My friend, by the way, is green in the gills[02:06.095]and on an average day can swim millions of ways.[02:08.225]About the nails and scales he is a silvery blue,[02:10.541]and it's not that he swam, but rather, he flew![02:28.802]I thought it would be dark like the space[02:31.153]between dreaming down here but I can see a half-moon above me,[02:34.483]elusive, yet mostly sub-orbital...[02:37.431]see how my friend splashes wildly![02:39.234]He coats every drop of the moonlight and sends it[02:42.174]in swirls past my face in the cold, salty water.[02:44.770]He has no idea of the pain that it causes[02:47.431]to fight the temptation to follow it down![02:52.696]My friend hasn't noticed I'm blue in the face![02:55.091]He's just not aware that my man-lungs need air![02:57.759]But I'm loathe to swim up towards the surface where headaches[03:00.433]and car-battered children will clutch at my brains...[04:09.398]And if you ever ask if I can fly,[04:12.578]I'll tell you, "Yes, I've died!"[04:14.716]The wings that form post-mortem ebb and flow with every tide.[04:19.447]Skin and tendons fall away,[04:21.578]but I shall glide forever fey,[04:23.961]and nails and scales in the dampest depths shall lead me far away...[04:28.427]lead me far away...[04:31.002]lead me far away...[04:33.081]lead me far away...
