I’ve never seen lions play on the beaches of Africa
Drenched in the oxblood dusk-light of the virgin savannah
But I’ve been to places no other person has
Overdosed on memories with an intoxicating everlast
Still have dreams beyond the wildest of human dreams.
I heard time in a piano
Tune into my neural network
Computing the answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything
42 billion light years away from the edge of the Milky Way
Chocolate in my mouth, sweetness in my heart.
I sat on superstar Orion’s shoulder
Drank in hyperchromic supernovas from the Big Dipper
Felt the tragic stings of Scorpius’ tales
Ran Boötes ragged, as I constantly mispronounced her name
Swam through the unknown universe with playful Delphinus.
I broke into the 5th dimension and got arrested
By a malaise with no name
No time, no space
No me, no point
Just being.
I climbed the stairway to heaven
Sinking in dopamine
Weightless as a young heart in love
Heavy with regret that happy moments can be lived only once
These paradoxes of life are never resolved.
I’ve seen it all and never left
This old, cold chair in old, cold London.
