Hiding Out from the Law of Averages
A 4 year old’s brain is twice as active as an adult’s
Night has fallen and it can’t get up
A blue whale’s tongue weighs 6,500 pounds
The happy dead rot as rain and rust
At Earth’s equator, surface spin = 1,000 miles per hour
In Cleveland, it is 700 miles per hour
Can’t take nothing for granted, not even granite
Vegetarians live 10 years longer
Do we follow contrails in the sky, or contracts on the ground?
People attending church more than once a week live 7 years longer
Our bodies are stardust, our soul chosen light
Women live 7 years longer than men
The more I lose the flow
the greater my need for twigs of joy to slow my low
Whites live 7 years longer than blacks
It’s a long road to whore
Couples in long relationships have higher levels of endorphins,
a morphine like pain killer . . . Roy Orbison was right – Love Hurts
