Ground Control to Major Tom



He peeked at his watch - not that he needed to; no, he just wanted to be sure he knew something.

She took a glance at the mirror - not like she had not done so a thousand times before; she just needed to believe it was still her.

They checked out the lyrics of a song - not that they had forgotten the words; they just had to know whether they meant what they sang.

We looked up at the sky - not because we weren't sure if it was there, but because we wondered
we really wondered
what was holding it all up.

Can you hear me, Major Tom?
