Gratefully Dead

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

(The question popped up uninvited on my WordPress app)

I’ll be 94, most likely joined the Grateful Dead, glad to sing along in their glorious number, Dark Star:

Shall we go, you and I, while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?

I’ll be singing a welcome to my 82-year-old widow Karleen, who’ll remember all the fascinating nonsense I’ve entertained her with in the 30 years our marriage

  1. lyrics of Dark Star, first track on Live Dead

    Dark star crashes, pouring its light into ashes
    Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis
    Searchlight casting for faults in the clouds of delusion

    Shall we go, you and I, while we can
    Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?

    Mirror shatters in formless reflections of matter
    Glass hand dissolving in ice, petal flowers revolving
    Lady in velvet recedes in the nights of goodbye

    Shall we go, you and I, while we can
    Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?
