    pain beyond comprehension.Made into art that we might be able to bear the truth of us.




    Call you up in the middle of the night
    Like a firefly without a light
    You were there like a blowtorch burning
    I was a key that could use a little turning
    So tired that I couldn't even sleep
    So many secrets I couldn't keep
    Promised myself I wouldn't weep
    One more promise I couldn't keep
    It seems no one can help me now
    I'm in too deep, there's no way out
    This time I have really led myself astray
    Runaway train, never going back
    Wrong way on a one-way track
    Seems like I should be getting somewhere
    Somehow I'm neither here nor there
    Can you help me remember how to smile?
    Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
    How on earth did I get so jaded?
    Life's mystery, seems so faded
    I can go where no one else can go
    I know what no one else knows
    Here I am just a-drownin' in the rain
    With a ticket for a runaway train
    And everything seems cut and dried
    Day and night, earth and sky
    Somehow I just don't believe it
    Runaway train, never going back
    Wrong way on a one-way track
    Seems like I should be getting somewhere
    Somehow I'm neither here nor there
    Bought a ticket for a runaway train
    Like a madman laughing at the rain
    A little out of touch, a little insane
    It's just easier than dealing with the pain
    Runaway train, never going back
    Wrong way on a one-way track
    Seems like I should be getting somewhere
    Somehow I'm neither here nor there
    Runaway train, never coming back
    Runaway train, tearing up the track
    Runaway train, burning in my veins
    I run away, but it always seems the same

    You may have had to hide under your bed for a month. Yet that would probably mean you were of this earth?
    Anne Frank's diary. How do you like these apples? I'm not certain but it's quite possible that I died in a German tank in North Africa. And then what did I do in my next life? I was again a good Nazi and went to "fight for my country" in South Viet-Nam.

    Far too much "good German" in my lives for comfort. I do my best to notice Fascists at work in aid of staying clear of them. I think it can easily be argued that Germany lost in WWII. HOWEVER, it seems plain to me that the Fascists WON. We went whole hog to the right shortly after the end of WWII. Worse, our feet are on the accelerator and the steering wheel is pulling us to the RIGHT. Still and or again.

    I suppose that I must be firmly attached to this one and only obvious life. It's wonderful to forget these most unpleasant facts, but I think that reality has to be acknowledged.

    It puzzles me why I dislike Trump and his minions. NOT.

    This first Riverdance show was seen on PBS. It sure grabbed my attention, and I liked it a lot. They took the show to New York and performed it at Radio City--where the company was swallowed whole by the cavernous stage. Sure wrecked it for me. Thanks for finding the original!

    The dance that never ends
    rhythm
    a circle that spins
    and wavers
    into the light
    she comes to me
    and brings a love so bright
    beauty that shines with the stars
    late into a dessert night..

    tomorrow the sun
    tonight the light
    will curl about you
    flames leaping from out our fire

    into darkness
    Then begging you for light.

    the stars will forsake the heavens
    to lay with you upon this dessert

    She has no need for darkness
    she shines.
    I have no need of time.
    when she in mine.

    We will never make that grade. The older I get the more I love women. They are truly the salvation of mankind.
