5 years

[Svedish_Chef]

Pushing thru' the market square,
So many mothers sighing,
News had just come over,
We had five years left to cry in.
News guy wept and told us,
Earth was really dying,
Cried so much his face was wet,
Then I knew he was not lying.
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies,
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and T.V.'s.

My brain hurt like a warehouse,
It had no room to spare,
I had to cram so many things,
To store everything in there.
And all the fat-skinny people,
And all the tall-short people,
And all the nobody people.
And all the somebody people,
I never thought I'd need so many people.

A girl my age went off her head,
Hit some tiny children,
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off,
I think she would have killed them.
A soldier with a broken arm,
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac,
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest,
And the queer threw up at the sight of that.

I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour,
Drinking milk shakes cold and long,
Smiling and waving and looking so fine,
Don't think you knew you were in this song.
And it was cold and it rained,
So I felt like an actor,
And I thought of Ma
And I wanted to get back there.
Your face, your race, the way that you talk,
I kiss you, you're beautiful,
I want you to walk.

We got five years, stuck on my eyes
Five years, what a surprise,
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
Five years, that's all we've got.

Ok so if you had 5 years to live, what would you do?

Me I'd get married and live in America with them.
Try and dedicate myself to photography and poetry.
Make love for 24 hours straight.
Die fullfilled.

I would buy a different hat every day. Then, at the end, I would look at all the hats and remark, "Boy, that's certainly a lot of hats."

Chef-I read this and felt like you needed a fellow chef's hugs. Sorry I can't drag you over here to America and put you to work-I am up to my well-up to there at least with catering jobs. I could use a poet/chef right now. Take care of yourself.

If I had five years left to live, I'd quit school and my job (live off my savings account). I'd stop dieting and be happy and fat. Then I'd asked the guy of my dreams out (if he says no, I only have to live with it for 5 years), then I'd go skydiving, bungee jumping, swim in the ocean, go to europe, go to california. Do everything I could possibly think of. Also I would say every possible thing that came to my mind, without holding back.

I think I would have a few kids, and live happy until I died.

You should do those things NOW! Not all at the same time, of course, but go for as many of your dreams as you can, without putting them off. We don't know how long we have, so don't postpone happiness - choose it now. Having lost my mother when she was still in her prime vividly brought home this point for me.

If I had only 5 years left to live, I'd be on a plane for New Zealand and say "fuck the rest of the world". I'd take my kids and go to my Draco and be as happy as anyone could be in the arms of the one they love.

I know I should, but with the exception of asking dream guy out and speaking my mind (which I mostly do now) I can't afford it!
