I've...Seen Things

***


Grateful Dead: 11/11/73...Winterland, San Francisco, CA.




I've known adventures,
seen places you people
will never see,
I've been Offworld
and back... frontiers!
I've stood on the back deck
of a blinker bound
for the Plutition Camps
with sweat in my eyes
watching the stars fight
on the shoulder of Orion...
I've felt wind in my hair,
riding test boats
off the black galaxies
and seen an attack fleet
burn like a match
and disappear.
I've seen it, felt it...!

--original tears in rain soliloquoy
from Blade Runner script






I've...seen things
you people wouldn't believe...
Attack ships on fire
off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched c-beams
glitter in the dark
near the Tannhäuser Gate.
All those...moments...
will be lost in time,
like tears...in...rain.





NOW
FOR
THE
TOUGH
PART








***IF WE DON'T, REMEMBER ME ...
