                                                               When i breathed her
                                                                      it was like
                                                             inhaling the air of some
                                                                      other planet.
                                                                   A better planet.
                                                            I was a stranger there, yet
                                                               she welcomed me in

                                               and suddenly  " they're dancin' in Chi-ca-go "'
                                                            " down in New Orleans "
                                                                            and
                                                    " ev-ry-where... a-round the world "
 
                                                                         It got late.
                                                                   I'm feeling dizzy.
                                           I found my Flagg Bro. shoes w/the cuban heels
                                                                 and walked the slow
                                                                       walk home
                                                                   on icy sidewalks
                                                               from Brother Rice  H.S.
                                                                 into Mt. Greenwood
                                                                               on
                                                                    that friday night
                                                                  in the winter of  '67.
                                                                            Alone.

                             They advised me to  " just hold her in your lungs for as long as
                                                                          you can
                                                       and exhale her through your nose. "
