-IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE-
Sitting on the edge of a three story building, sun beating down on my back. Looking down at the busy city street below. Everything ,moving together but seperatly.
-I BLINK MY EYES-
I'm lying under a tree bathing me in its cool shade.Birds singing, clouds moving in an ocean blue sky.
-I BLINK MY EYES-
I'm in a trench with my army buddy Jake in Vietnam. Bullets flying so close I hear the whoosh by my head. Big guns flashing with each shot. So much screaming I can't hear through the blood.
-I BLINK MY EYES-
The starter pistol goes off and the race begins. My adrenaline kicks in and I leap into a run. Hot skin. feet pounding the asphalt track as quick as is humanly possible. I look over and see I'm winning.
-I BLINK MY EYES-
I told those boys not swing so high on their swings. But I remember when I was their ages. 8 and 10; how fun it was trying to swing right over the whole swing set. They came in when I called for dinner and to start our evening routine of baths and bed. It's Dad's turn to read the bedtime story.
-I BLINK MY EYES-
Standing on the edge of 3 story building. Sun beating down on my back. Looking down past my feet, I lean forward; and let gravity take me away...
IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE...
