we're traveling
at the speed of light
and we won't stop for nothing
(there are no br(e)akes
in this vehicle called life)
so let's keep going until we can

and return home to each other as
old folks who've aged nothing but
gained knowledge of all the
mousetraps of the cosmos
(don't ever ask me what they
are - a magician never reveals
his secrets)

Let Me Down Gently

His shoulders were brought forward by age, his fingers weren't as deft as they had been. If there was one thing he was very happy for, it was that when he had started, he had used the higher shelves first. It meant he didn't have to climb steep, uncertain ladders all the time now.
