When I entered the black hole

I was struck by the naked singularity

And the music of the night.

Jupiter was ascending

And Scorpio was rising

The jukebox was blaring

And the sirens were screaming.

The neon wilderness showed me the way

To the star-studded brilliance of the Milky Way

I lost all consciousness as the drugs took hold

Somewhere in the depths of the hold.

When I regained my strength from my long winter’s nap

I dug deep into my jeans for a few copper pennies

To be sure I had the means to pay for my midnight sin

I strolled through the door to the daylight again

And once again became human once more.
