Oh. Itd gone to commercial break.

                                     The interview I was watching, I suppose it’s ended, I was listening for her voice to return. When they went to break I returned to a magazine article I was reading but had set aside when the interview began.

    Wha they saidwhoever they were was a generation of children whose parents are still alive

Thas not us

I found the thought of my parents alive now  was   disconcerting

                                                                       I wish they were I wish yours were

Ive not heard anyone ever say tha beforeor  conceived of that while they were alive

Were you thinking . . . we took them, had taken ourselves . . for granted?

No

      We were living our lives

Who wants to think

Everythings a joke

                      There must be some way out of here/Said the joker to the thief . . . No reason to get excited/The thief he kindly spoke/There are many here among us/Who feel that life is but a joke

Dylan.  Along the Watchtower.

I knew there was a reason  reasons  why I like you

                                                           I can do twothree minutes
