there's a fine, fine line between a fairy tale and a lie

and there's a fine fine line between 'you're wonderful' and 'goodbye'
I guess if someone doesn't love you back
it isn't such a crime
but there's a fine fine line between love
and a waste of your time

from 'Avenue Q', music and lyrics by Robert Lopes and Jeff Marx

There's some great songs, like 'The More You Ruv Someone' and 'I Wish I Could Go Back To College' but it's not for family listening.

Just remember that there's a fine fine line between what you wanted and what you got. I'm not sure I know what that means, maybe I'll know tomorrow.

from 'Why I Ride' by Jana Richman

I pop up my face shield, take the blast full on my face; sunglasses flutter with the force. The wind enters at my temples, roars past my ears, and exits at my neck. The pavement slides under me, and I'm stunned, always to see it so close. My brain tells me it is rough and hard, but in my eyes, it shimmers and glides. The weeds on the side of the road beckon me to reach out and brush my hand over their fluffy tops. I resist.

I am strikingly aware of even the slightest change in temperature. And here at this point, all intuitively begins to make sense--here, where wind, steel, flesh, asphalt, rubber, blood, speed, bone, plastic, and muscle coalesce. Here I might begin to understand my motives.
