Suzanne VegaSmall Blue Thing
Today I am
A small blue thing
Like a marble
Or an eye
With my knees against my mouth
I am perfectly round
I am watching you
I am cold against your skin
You are perfectly reflected
I am lost inside your pocket
I am lost against
Today I am
A small blue thing
Like a marble
Or an eye
With my knees against my mouth
I am perfectly round
I am watching you
I am cold against your skin
You are perfectly reflected
I am lost inside your pocket
I am lost against
Your fingers
I am falling down the stairs
I am skipping on the sidewalk
I am thrown against the sky
I am raining down in pieces
I am scattering like light
Scattering like light
Scattering like light
Today I am
A small blue thing
Made of china
Made of glass
I am cool and smooth and curious
I never blink
I am turning in your hand
Turning in your hand
Small blue thing
I am falling down the stairs
I am skipping on the sidewalk
I am thrown against the sky
I am raining down in pieces
I am scattering like light
Scattering like light
Scattering like light
Today I am
A small blue thing
Made of china
Made of glass
I am cool and smooth and curious
I never blink
I am turning in your hand
Turning in your hand
Small blue thing

Don't tell the Feds but I'm feverishly downloading Suzanna Vega MP3s now. The only Vega disc I have on CD is 99.9 Farhenheit and I'm dying to hear "Little Blue Marble." If they come a knockin', I'll just tell them, "Cousin Elvis made me do it!"
I meant "Small Blue Thing." Brain fart.
Just listened to "Small Blue Thing." What an artist. What a simple, perfect thought. What a moment, listening to this tune. Thinking of my own life. Thinking of you listening to this song, in your car on the way to work, at your desk, on your MP3 player. Today I am. A small blue thing. Thank you for scaterring my light.
