Star Date: Pisces, third decantes; 3rd Year of the Monkey
Like tumble-weeds we rolled into the Garden sector Guided and fueled by winds of energies unseen yet known Beneath the hood--I understood--was Contraption Constructed with sinews of thought A manifested marvel of idea, An idea to drive an idea, circles of creation Unrandom destination:
Heady thoughts of power and need (and many other measurements, as well) What; why; how—-I’ll tell you (we appear to be made of pure/energy, captain) But then you already know what I’m going to tell you (I have dreamed a dream, and now that dream has gone from me) That Knowing is Remembering Being is Accepting And flesh is but a sweet, sweet dream.

Yes, there are Izzard quotes in the piece. In fact much of it is canabalized from various sources both known and unknown to the public reader. But you've got me here: what is the correct way to quote "and many other measurements, as well!"?

Right, ciao, should've picked up on that one.
Well, maybe it isn't misquoted, as I haven't checked, but I thought there was no "many" in there. Now that I think about it, I can hear it in my mind either way. I'm guessing that you're right, and that it's not really important.

Count me in as another happy to see this name again. I thought for sure it would just be a bumped thread.

I lied away my youth in search of something Something to make it easier to be; The path that lies behind me is forever Right behind me is forever And the shoes that I’ve been walking in are me.
There were years and beers and songs of inner bleeding There was hope: lost, gained, lost, gained, needed; Kings who ruled without domain Ruled without domain Nor ear or hand to comfort those who pleaded.
In later days I wandered into everything Everything but that which I had sought; Search was lost to purpose Purpose lost to search And then was sold which long ago was bought.
I lied away the search itself and claimed autonomy Broken sovereign lifted high, nevermore to flee; The path that lies before me is forever Right before me is forever And the shoes that I’ll be walking in are me.
