LONG AFTER SCIENCE HAS PACKED UP ITS TENT AND GONE HOME

"Here we are,
stuck by this river,
you and I underneath a sky that's ever falling
down, down, down,
ever falling down.

Through the days, as if on an ocean,
waiting here,
always failing to remember why we came, came, came:
I wonder why we came.

You talk to me as if from a distance,
and I reply with impressions chosen from another
time, time, time,
from another time."

Brian Eno, "By This River," from Before and After Science
