Amid the chaos of that day...
:52:26
...when all l could hear
was the thunder of gunshots...
:52:30
...and all l could smell
was the violence in the air...
:52:33
...l look back and am amazed...
:52:35
...that my thoughts were so clear and true.
:52:38
That three words went
through my mind endlessly.
:52:42
Repeating themselves like a broken record.
:52:45
You're so cool.
:52:47
You're so cool.
:52:49
You're so cool.
:52:53
And sometimes Clarence asks me
what would l have done if he had died.
:52:57
lf that bullet had been
two inches more to the left.
:53:01
To this, l always smile.
:53:03
As if l'm not going to satisfy him
with a response.
:53:06
But l always do.
:53:08
l tell him of how l would want to die.
:53:10
But that the anguish
and the want of death would fade...
:53:14
...like the stars at dawn.
:53:16
And that things would be
much like they are now.
:53:19
Perhaps.
:53:21
Except maybe l wouldn't have
named our son...
:53:24
...Elvis.
