about

"The sun goes dancing now" was a line someone (probably a child) had put together with my fridge magnets. I admired the idea of making something out of scrambled nothingness as well as simple personification.

The sun and moon have been doing more human things than probably anything other than humans. We put ourselves into them when all life on earth owes its existence to them (well, really just the sun).

lyrics

The sun goes dancing now
as the flagella propels.

Faces up there

From the small comes large
the moon is out.
He is smiling now.

Faces up there
come from here,
from us.
