"Your tragic fate is looking so cold." Resonated

"Your tragic fate is looking so cold." Resonated with her everytime she went to a graveyard or a battle ground, and I have another song in my head that goes with this.
"The song I'm thinking of is obscure, you probably haven't heard it," I told my date. She plucked a lily from a headstone, and quipped, "Actually I know all about the underground."
Amazing! She was only born in 1985. How could she have known?
She could have used her time machine to go back and have a look-see. As it turned out, she ventured into the old library down the street from her house and cracked open a
book on the subject. Not just an illustrated book, it was a pop-up book. She was not a kid, but still found herself more than amused with each turn of the page.
Page 1 showed a protoatom & when she shfited a lever at the bottom it expanded into a ball of energy.Page 2 showed a small blue planet orbiting a yellow star. Page 3 popped up show
-ing nothing for thousands of years, but eventually showing a little atom quivering. Page 4 showed another eon or so, then suddenly a fish. Page 5 showed a caveman at McDonald's.
Page 6 showed the first Apple SmartPhone! They oohed and ahhed over that. Finally, communication was real! It is what the Hokey Poke is all about they thought!
Okeechobee was about something completely different and his team knew it. They were not under any delusions about what they were doing and the price they would pay for it. Cake was
always a lie even when it wasn't. You never knew. The team knew the odds were against them. As they checked each other's gear the slight adjustments they made were goodbyes.
