I'd like to meet:
"The kind of people who come from out of nowhere and go right back into it."
the mad ones
the ones who are mad to live
mad to talk
mad to be saved
desirous of everything at the same time
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing
but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous roman candles
exploding like spiders accross the stars
and in the middle you see the blue centrelight pop
and everybody goes "AWWW...!"
