I am myself; There are no faces other than my own in this room here. There's this guy that lives just down the road. He's got some of the coolest ideas you've ever heard of. He believes in stuff that you'd say was crap, and he loves to learn things that aren't practical to us. I am one of you, you know. I'm not like him. I live for the practical, not the theoretical. I'm not some dumb "thinker". This is the reality and I'm living in it. We don't need all that higher thought. We just need to know how to work with our hands. We're on a need-to-know basis, and we don't need to know. But this guy down the road loves the theoretical. He knows how to argue with you and force you to come to come to the same conclusions he has. But he's willing to listen to you and respect your point of view. Isn't that neat? I never knew it was possible. In the privacy of my own room I write out the terrible secret that no one must know. When I'm with you I look back up the road from a distance. You're an alien and we have no way of communicating. I'm the sky, you're the earth. It only looks as though we meet. But for now, I'll stuff myself in a corner for safekeeping and be the me you want me to be. "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh" |
