we're silent for a long time   finally

colin's grandfather 

says a few words meant to sooth

marketa talks about the future   

when all this is behind us   

colin concentrates on his work   says little   

one minute i'm impatient to have it over   

one way or another   

another minute i'm loving the uncertainty

knowing i have no control   

that i am not captain

of this particular ship   that i am

one of seven billion passengers

on a strange voyage
