   >     blood rushed from head, next thing I knew   
   >     woke up flat on my back in grassy sun   
   >     and had been out fine minutes.

   >     The Babe was alone with the Baby Lamb.   
   >     The Shroud was alone with the Golden Shroud.

   > I was alone with God, who   
   >     is God, who was me,   
   >  who was All,   
   >     he stood high on a hill   
   >  overlooking Mexico City
