Ice ages now make front pages The cycles have run full circle Rising and falling like the tide, The time will come for us to hide. To the ice cave, iceman I think I have a cunning plan We’ll use this new coming cold To sort ideas new from old With this we get a chance to start over It’s our frost bitten four-leafed clover. I look forward to being alive to see How we deal with it and if we continue to be. ....

ME TO LETS LOVE EACH OTHER! oK! lalalalalala! the blue of the beat boy (20ish) steps outside his door and clicks in a tape to his walkman, put his headphones on and briefly looks at the sky. walks out of house on to footpath, and makes way to park. tape is something dramatic like... Holst or vangelis... something like starwars shit. yeah. at a build up point, music cuts out, boy looks left to dog barking. music back in an keep walking. into park. walks to centre and lies down. view of the sky. blue. few if any clouds. just blue. music cuts out again when shadow comes over head. boy looks right. a skirt rippling in the wind. sun blocks out everything else. a hand comes down and he takes it. standing up looking into her eyes they hold hands and spin. just spin. collapsing to the ground,head spins for awhile so he smiles. he takes his walkman out and pushes stop. she takes his headphones off. and kisses him on the nose. he looks serious. sits up. crosses legs. looks down at girl smiling. she asks if anything is the matter or that sort of question. he doesnt say much. maybe a grunt or mmmmmm or something boyish. but he looks into her eyes now with intensity and she still smiles back. she has waited for a long time. and so she can wait some more perhaps. he forms his mouth and and goes over it in his head. picking up a dandelion clock, he blows it and watches the seeds float off. he smiles and thinks about the last time he did that. he's staring off into the distance and a tugg on his sleave brings him back. she's still there. now she's holding his hand. he says well. he says well again after a pause. then she says something like ummmm! she says are you ok? still smiling he says mmm yeah im good. he says im really good. and then he says because i love you. and he looks down at his crossed legs and then he lies back. and she jumps on him and licks his cheek and says i love you and they sigh and embrace and stare at the sky. and its blue. just blue.
