In this photo I'm staying on the big gray stone on the shore of Atlantic ocean
I'm staying exactly in the middle of a gigantic footprint of dinosaur
Left here 70 million years ago
This photo was taken by you
Remember you made about 15 photos with me on that stone
Because you said that you liked the shine in my eyes
When I talked about how dinosaurs was more like birds than lizards
How they lived in flocks, made nests and sung songs to each other
Cared for their children and vanished from the earth just when the flowers appeared
Because flowers were probably toxic to them
Yeah, you said, you never know whats under the surface of beauty
-----
Here, next picture is you
You lay on the sofa with your eyes half closed
Your hands in the air making invisible circles and stars
You smile and my kiss is still under your nose
That was that evening in winter. The one when we took so many pictures of each other
Just out of nothing to do; and we laughed a lot; and we asked
What if the earthquake comes and buries us under this building today
Can memory cards petrify?
Can petrified memory cards be read after 70 million years?
And then you said, Hey let's make a baby tonight
He may last long enough and we don't know what else to do with our lives anyway
Your hands in the air making invisible cobwebs of love
-----
And here is a picture with me again
It's blurred, it's taken on tube by one of my mates
Haven't changed that much or am I?
I don't know how you do? Just hope you alright.
I certainly am.
Still digging, still left-wing, still all is the same
Fighting my demons and sometimes having a fun
Just stopped for a moment to drop you a line
To say
You know
I'm still keeping you on my memory card
Petrified
Who knows maybe somebody'll find it
After 70 million years
