[A pause.

He reaches down into the innards of the droid he has been modifying. With a couple of adjustments, he gets a nice rap beat going to underline it.

And then he drops those rhymes.]


You ever looked out to sea?
Miles to see, miles of me,
Blue turned blacker eventually
Never known the feel of a growing tree.
Wonder what it's like beyond,
Does the earth sing a song? A song that keeps going on?
Wonder if I'll ever learn to sing along?
Or if I tried I'd sing it wrong.
Spring blooms; fall loss;
Flower buds and spreading moss,
Kelp forests underneath the soaring albatross
The grass is always greener when you can't get across.
I'm saying I will; I'm saying I'd kill,
I'm saying I'd lose my head just to have the thrill,
Of walking bare feet in the grassy earth.
But when I make land, I'm feelin' dead dirt.
