_Kevin Bishop's Italo Calvino's Implosion_ by The Gillroyd Parade To implode or explode? Is the question it seems To spray unrestrained, or fold into your dreams. I'm not one for dazzling, to burn as streaks of light, To grab the eye like fireworks or share spoils of the flight Maybe it's a joke that i'm yet to see But that Black Hole belongs to me I read that e'rything sucked into a Black Hole Is shot forth elsewhere, like a nebula's foal I hear a voice times calling, as if another me Is bursting forth somewhere even as I sink Maybe it's a joke that i'm yet to see But that Black Hole belongs to me I'll fold down neat in a compact core Safe from time's arrows that marred my life before. Maybe it's a trick to escape mortality But that Black Hole belongs to me And I see something like a dream or memory Myself in space in flight from time's catastrophe. I see myself take refuge, safe inside my hole Then see a man still running, my own self Italo Maybe it's a joke that i'm yet to see But that Black Hole belongs to me (it's dark but comfy) The Black hole belongs to me Now I see Italo flailing in the crush Italo flees Italo try to save me while he perishes "Save yourself Italo!" I explode or I implore "Leap free!" to burst or fold, or fold or burst no more. Maybe it's a joke that i'm yet to see But that Black Hole belongs to me. Either I'll end in darkness or light I'm not sure All ways I'll fold easy, quietly to my core. Maybe it's a joke that i'm yet to see But that Black Hole belongs to me (I'll see ya later) The Black Hole belongs to me (It's nice and cool here) The Black Hole belongs to me _Chords_ (similar to Blind Willie McTell's Your Southern Can is Mine) C E A A7 To implode or explode?
