And I wish that I could
- properly recognize them as such
  - it could ever have noticed
    - that I had reached
      - after meter after meter
        rattling and pitching
        My first instinct was to check
      - Where was I going
        that the Earth
        was still below us
    - the end of time
      - I floated slowly off
        and not the victim of some
        dreadful cosmic disaster
      - into the empty unending space
        But when I reached the window
        it still hung there
  - I existed
    - and I was watching the gradual
      - and the tether line
        serene below us
        As I looked- I saw
      - just kept on going
        drops of red flowing
        through the air in front of me
    - fading of the universe
      - The Daedalus drifted
        I reached up to my ears
        and my hand came away wet
      - further and further away
        Don't try to tell me
        sound can't travel in a vacuum
- Minds so strange and colossal
  - I do not believe in God
    - And then I realized the obvious
      - I could feel myself falling up
        I know
        I pushed off- as I began to move
      - falling out
        through the station
        I stopped
    - I could not see the stars
      - falling off of everything
        I didn't grab or hit anything
        I did nothing
      - that could be called a world
        to slow my momentum
        I just stopped
  - I can't believe
    - because something
    - was blocking them
