A Manifold Tale

Michael Collins (born October 31, 1930) is a former American astronaut and test pilot. Selected as part of the third group of fourteen astronauts in 1963, he flew in space twice. His first spaceflight was Gemini 10, in which he and command pilot John Young performed two rendezvous with different spacecraft and Collins undertook two EVAs. His second spaceflight was as the command module pilot for Apollo 11. While he orbited the Moon, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made the first manned landing on the lunar surface. He is one of only 24 people to have flown to the Moon.

Jeffrey was Jeffrey Hammond, who is earlier mentioned in "A Song For Jeffrey"and "Jeffrey Goes To Leicester Square" and who in 1971 became Tull's new bass player. In the paper "Songs From The Wood" it is suggested that perhaps Ian felt that as Jethro Tull became more popular and John Evans joined the band on keyboards, Jeffrey and the simpler 'good old days', when they were just starting out in the music business, were left behind.

"For Michael Collins, Jeffrey And Me"

Watery eyes of the last sighing seconds,
blue reflections mute and dim
beckon tearful child of wonder
to repentance of the sin.
And the blind and lusty lovers
of the great eternal lie
go on believing nothing
since something has to die.
And the ape's curiosity --
money power wins,
and the yellow soft mountains move under him.

I'm with you L.E.M.
though it's a shame that it had to be you.
The mother ship is just a blip
from your trip made for two.
I'm with you boys, so please employ just a little extra care.
It's on my mind I'm left behind
when I should have been there.
Walking with you.

And the limp face hungry viewers
fight to fasten with their eyes
like the man hung from the trapeze --
whose fall will satisfy.
And congratulate each other
on their rare and wondrous deed
That their begrudged money bought
to sow the monkey's seed.
And the yellow soft mountains
they grow very still
witness as intrusion the humanoid thrill.

L.E.M.

The Apollo Lunar Module (LM), also known as the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM), was the lander portion of the Apollo spacecraft built for the US Apollo program by Grumman to carry a crew of two from lunar orbit to the surface and back. Six such craft successfully landed on the Moon between 1969–1972.

Me Auntie she tore up me ******* poems
She just threw the bastards out.
I can't forgive her 'cause she didn't treat me like a ******* genius.
Look, you bastards, I'm a genius!
Like Shakespeare and Beethoven and Van Gogh.
Don't you DARE criticize my work!
"Don't Worry Kyoko" is one of the ******* BEST rock and roll records ever made!
I'm a ******* artist!
I'm sensitive as shit!
I throw up before I go on stage!
I could make a guitar SPEAK!
If I could be a fisherman, I would, But I CAN'T because I'm a ******* GENIUS!
I was the Walrus - Paul wasn't the Walrus!
I was just saying that to be nice, but I was actually the Walrus!
You know that rubbish he's been singing?
EASTMAN WAS AN ANIMAL! A ******* STUPID MIDDLE-CLASS PIG!
I WON'T LET ******* ANIMALS LIKE THAT NEAR ME!
Yoko is a supreme intellectual!
I'll tell you why nobody likes her music
because she's a woman, and she's Oriental, that's why!

Where are you Mother?
They're trying to crucify me!
