Afternoons And Coffeespoons
(15.11.2002 - 8:23 p.m.)

Once you were pretty, now you are beautiful.

* * * * *

Who am I going to marry? My best friend. The one person who knows me inside and out. The one person I can't lie to. The one person I'm not afraid of disagreeing with. The one person with whom I have shared so many moments.

* * * * *

Have you ever experienced that moment where two of you are together, and the realisation hits you that this moment is perfect? And you see a reaction in the other person, as if God has just reached down and touched you both. And time comes to a complete standstill for the most brief of nanoseconds.

And you just know.

After seven days
He was quite tired, so God said:
"Let there be a day
Just for picnics, with wine and bread"
He gathered up some people he had made
Created blankets and laid back in the shade

The people sipped their wine
And what with God there, they asked him questions
Like: do you have to eat?
Or get your hair cut in heaven?
And if your eye got poked out in this life
Would it be waiting up in heaven with your wife?

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him

So, he said: "Once there was a boy
Who woke up with blue hair
To him it was a joy
Until he ran out into the warm air-
He thought of how his friends would come to see;
And would they laugh, or had he got some strange disease?"

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him

The people sat waiting
Out on their blankets in the garden
But God said nothing
So someone asked him, "I beg your pardon:
I'm not quite clear about what you just spoke-
Was that a parable, or a very subtle joke?"

God shuffled his feet and glanced around at them;
The people cleared their throats and stared right back at him."
