It’s crazy I’m thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
And here, I’m dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down?
And is this real, or am I dreaming?
Just a month before, Apollo 11 astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong had left their colleague, Michael Collins, aboard spaceship Columbia and walked on the moon, beating by five months President Kennedy’s goal of putting a man on the moon before the decade was out.
The old carpenter asked me if I really believed it had happened. I said sure, I saw it on television. He disagreed; he said that he didn’t believe it for a minute, that “them television fellers” could make things look real that weren’t. Back then, I thought he was a crank. During my eight years in Washington, I saw some things on TV that made me wonder if he wasn’t ahead of his time. 1

in the future?

Now, she’s gone round and round
inside of my head
I think I’m just a little too
close to the edge
