It was like meeting Jesus
(meeting George Lucas.
I made myself look a complete arse)
All I could say was
Thank you on behalf of my generation.
I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing
(we were supporting
Dido)
If it wasn't for you.
I based my entire life
(I said, 'I've always tried to let my life
be guided by the Force,')
on using the Force.
(and he said - 'That's nice'
in the most blank way imaginable.)
Poet's note: This found poem/cento was created from the following two sources:
"Lifeline: The Force is with Rock Group Travis" by Cesar G. Soriano, USA Today
Q Magazine interview of Travis by Fran Healy, issue 184
These two sources were featured in the chapter titled "A Star Wars Miscellany: Extracts Culled from Various Media", compiled by Aimee Agresti for the book "A Galaxy Not So Far Away: Writers and Artists on Twenty Five Years of Star Wars"
