Heel & Toe To The End

Gagarin says, in ecstasy, he could have gone on forever he floated at and sang and when he emerged from that one hundred eight minutes off the surface of the earth he was smiling. Then he returned to take his place among the rest of us from all that division and subtraction a measure toe and heel heel and toe he felt as if he had been dancing by  William Carlos Williams

Sometimes humans just die. And you cannot save them. Sometimes humans do not die, and you cannot save them.

How could love ever have been a calm, gentle gut feeling like a big growing peony or a happy rock down there? For Lizzie it was an intermittent stabbing sensation in the heart and lung area so that a desire to give was always associated unconsciously with a slight inability to breathe.

And love came with a sense of loss. All she had lost. That had made her work terribly hard.

'You need what we all need, Tom,' she says. 'You need what we all need.' Which is love. And the peace of mind to feel it.

"That's part of the problem,' she says. You can feel love, and know that you love someone deeply. But in your mind you're going to be quietly unravelling it. So that comfort doesn't come. Because how could you bear it? To latch on, and be pushed away, with your mouth open and your hands flailing madly?"

Being tall with tight skin, that is what humans like. What do humans and our kind like? Water. Blankets. Sugar. These things are both new and old to us.
