You take a piano
Keys begin
The keys end
You know there are 88 of them
Nobody can tell you any different
They are not infinite
You are infinite
And on those keys, the music
that you can make is infinite
I like that
That I can live by
You get me up on that gangway
and you roll out in front of me
a keyboard of millions
and billions of keys that never end
and that's the truth
Max, that they never end
That keyboard is infinite
And if that keyboard is infinite
then there is no music you can play
You're sitting on the wrong bench
That's God's piano
Christ, did you see the streets?
Just the streets.
There were thousands of them
How do you do it down there?
How do you choose just one?
One woman
One house
One piece of land to call your own
one landscape to look at one way to die?
All that world
just weighing down on you
You don't even know
where it comes to an end
I mean, aren't you ever
just scared of
breaking apart
at the thought of it?
At the enormity of living it?
