looking backward

.


 man ray



Someone found the future as a statue in a fountain
At attention, looking backward in a pool of water
Wishes with a blue songbird on his shoulder
Who keeps singing over everything
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me

 I picked up the song and found my picture in the paper
The reflection in the water showed an iron man still trying to salute
People from a time when he was everything he's supposed to be
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me

  3. Wow... there is so much here. Elliot Smith was so talented. Heading back to look at more Yves Klein. A wellspring, indeed!

  4. BB- I should have guessed you and yours were tuned in to C, O'R's piano. I saw him play at Duke several seasons ago and was mesmerized .

    Giulia- a fascinating Man Ray, there is another of Lee Miller in a similar pose.

    Barbara, All talents here and I love the ES songs- and blue.
    Valery- yes when seeing these together is puzzles and resolves itself beautifully.
