"I don't know what this song is about. When I
was writing this I was going through a
divorce. And the only thing I can say about
it is that it's obviously in anger. It's the
angry side, or the bitter side of a
separation. So what makes it even more
comical is when I hear these stories which
started many years ago, particularly in
America, of someone come up to me and say,
'Did you really see someone drowning?' I
said, 'No, wrong'. And then every time I go
back to America the story gets Chinese
whispers, it gets more and more elaborate.
It's so frustrating, 'cos this is one song
out of all the songs probably that I've ever
written that I really don't know what it's
about, you know."

| The Dead - Billy Collins Animated Poetry |

Billy Collins, former US Poet Laureate and
one of America's best-selling poets, reads
his poem "The Dead" with animation by Juan
Delcan of Spontaneous.
Noted for their intelligent humor,
accessibility and observations on daily life,
Collins' popular poems come alive further in
a series of animated poems produced by JWT
New York.

The Poem - The dead are always looking down
on us, they say, while we are putting on our
shoes or making a sandwich, they are looking
down through the glass-bottom boats, of
heaven as they row themselves slowly through
eternity. They watch the tops of our heads
moving below on earth, And when we lie down
in a field or on a couch, Drugged perhaps by
the hum of a warm afternoon, They think we
are looking back at them, which makes them
lift their oars and fall silent and wait,
like parents, for us to close our eyes.
