driving back from dinner with you
listening to "like a rolling stone"
on some oldies radio station
we began to sing the song together
at the top of our lungs
we were off tune and out of beat
we probably looked like fools
but it was at that moment
i knew i was immortal
death, if only for that 6 minutes,
had fled out of my life
bob dylan and love have a tendency to do that
in that moment--
we were a living bruce springsteen song
nothing could go wrong
we were just two ordinary people
in an ordinary world
feeling an extraordinary feeling
after the song ended
we were quiet
i think we both knew
that any words would crush the moment
so i didn't say it at the time
but i will say it now if you didn't have a clue
girl, i know, that i love you

the only people for me are the mad ones-mad to live, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at once--jack kerouac

'just two ordinary people
in an ordinary world
feeling an extraordinary feeling'

This thought just grabbed me and squeezed my heart~

WONDERFUL !

"You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal."

I have also sung this song, enjoyed the poem and it's musical reference
