  2. Summary

    "And now the carnival is over
    Someone turn out the light.
    Our fields of plenty filled with clover
    So long ago and out of sight.

    This little light that keeps on shining
    All through the darkness, through the night,
    That ever more will keep reminding
    Our journey is long, our flame is bright.

    And if there's one more time I can dance with you
    Let me dance with you tonight
    It's the last chance our hearts will dance
    Into the lovers' night.

    Out in the land of never ending
    The rich parade, the roar of life.
    We shared a world forever changing
    Through dancing days and wondrous nights.

    I offered up the secret places
    Revealed the magic of the land
    All bound by blood and lipstick traces
    Till time conspired to steal our crown."

    (Robert Plant, "Dance with you tonight", Carry Fire, 2017.)

    This is the song that started all of this. The Copernican Turn. The Wait A Fucking Second moment.

    I found a thread, I started pulling, and everything else just fell into place.

    Summary

    "I don't know how I'm gonna tell you
    I can't play with you no more
    I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me
    My friend the boy next door."
