_O Captain! My Captain!_

"I close my eyes..." |Yes| "and this image floats beside me" |A sweaty- toothed madman| "A sweaty-toothed madman with a stare that pounds my brain" |Oh that's excellent, now give him an action, make him do something| "His hands reach out and choke me..." |That's excellent, wonderful, wonderful| "and all the time he's mumbling" |What's he mumbling?| "Mumbling truth, truth like a blanket that always leaves your feet cold" (laughter) |Forget them, forget them, stay with the blanket, tell me about the blanket!| "You push it, stretch it, it will never be enough, you kick at it, beat it, it will never cover any of us. From the moment we enter crying to the moment we leave dying, it will just cover your face, as you wail and cry and scream" |Don't you forget this.|
