Golden Years
I say, "David Bowie!"
At a party, I find myself face to face with David Bowie.
I say, “David Bowie!”
He nods, as if to say, “That’s right.” (Or maybe he actually says, “That’s right.”)
I start singing “Don’t let me hear you say life’s taking you nowhere…”
He chimes in “Aaaaangel”, and then everyone around us starts singing, “Run for the shadows, run for the shadows…in these golden years…whop whop whop” in perfect harmony.
I think, I’m singing with David Bowie! (and I can’t sing).
A few days later I heard on the radio that he had passed away. It was a sad day, but I felt grateful that I was able to sing with him.
