in this belly of a whale
It's ribs are ceiling beams
It's guts are carpeting
I guess we have some time to kill

You may not remember me
I was a child of three
And you, a lad of eighteen
But, I remember you
And I will relate to you
How our histories interweave
At the time you were
A rake and a roustabout
Spending all your money
On the Bleeped texts and hounds

You had a charming air
All cheap and debonair
My widowed mother found so sweet
And so she took you in
Her sheets still warm with him
Now filled with filth and foul disease
As time wore on you proved
A debt-ridden drunken mess
Leaving my mother
A poor consumptive wretch…(click)

I was continuing to shrink, to become…what? The infinitesimal? What was I? Still a human being? Or was I the man of the future? If there were other bursts of radiation, other clouds drifting across seas and continents, would other beings follow me into this vast new world? So close – the infinitesimal and the infinite. But suddenly, I knew they were really the two ends of the same concept…The unbelievably small and the unbelievably vast eventually meet – like the closing of a gigantic circle…I looked up, as if somehow I would grasp the heavens. The universe, worlds beyond number, God's silver tapestry spread across the night…And in that moment, I knew the answer to the riddle of the infinite…I had thought in terms of man's own limited dimension…I had presumed upon nature…That existence begins and ends in man's conception, not nature's…And I felt my body dwindling, melting, becoming nothing…My fears melted away…And in their place came acceptance…All this vast majesty of creation, it had to mean something…And then I meant something, too…Yes, smaller than the smallest, I meant something, too…To God, there is no zero. I still exist…(click)

the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
