In the tenth second of forever, I thought of the sea and a white yacht drifting.
In the ninth second of forever I remembered a warm room where voices played.
In the eighth second of forever I thought of the life I would not lead.
In the seventh second of forever I thought of a leaf a stone, a plastic fragment of a child's toy.
In the sixth second of forever I saw your mouth whispering something I could not hear.
In the fifth second of forever I thought of the vermilion deserts at Mars, the jewelled forests of Venus.
In the fourth second of forever I could remeber nothing I did not love.
In the third second of forever I thought of against a window, I thought of the wind.
In the second second of forever I thougth of a pair of broken shades lying on the tarmac.
In the first and final second of forever I thought of the long past that led to now and never...never...land...
