Happening

The Saints of Hampstead Heath (1997)


Well… it’s gonna happen.

But, has it already happened?

Maybe it's already happening.


A doorway to light and a pit of darkness.

I'm falling into both sides.

A numbing feeling as I slip away into wherever I’m going.


Two figures conversing in my blurred distorted vision.

They’re saying something which I can’t make out.

Maybe what they’re discussing will all make sense shortly.


Is this the end or the beginning? Does it end? Does it begin?

Was this part 1, and soon it’ll be part 2? Are there any parts?

Am I even going anywhere?. Or am I stuck here.


Looks like it’s time for me to go.

But I don’t know where to go.

I don’t know how to go.


I’m starting to not know anything right now.

My memory is growing ever more hazy and foggy.

My vision is too blurred for me to see the two figures.


I’m falling into the light and falling into the darkness.

Everything is disappearing and fading away.

Into the doorway to light. Into the pit of darkness.


This is what happens.

It happened.

It is happening…
