J. Alfred Prufrock

"do i dare disturb the universe?"

we'll go out late, when it's dark

find our own time in all this

passing people by without notice

and we'll vanish together

you and i will see things that we never believed before

and we'll drop the answers

in corners of rooms without doors

and we'll wonder together

you and i will rewrite moments forever lost in time

and we'll scatter asunder

passing people won't notice

as we settle softly in their hair

how do i look?

i'm aging, i know

my arms hang a little low

my hair grows thinner, whispers grow louder

let's go out late, when it's dark

find our own place in all this

people passing by won't notice

"we have lingered in the chambers of the sea,

...'til human voices wake us and we drown"

loosely based on t.s. elliot's the love song of j.alfred prufrock
