I'm 15, justagirl, and I would LOVE to be Billy. Too bad it's never going to happen. I'm two years too old, 6 inches too tall (damn pituitary gland!) and my voice has broken. Grrh.
Not sure about you drsNLB. If we dyed your hair we might get a g(a)linda out of you. Not really sure. Trying to think of something that is new, but in such a long thread it's too hard!
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.
