I messed up on this one, but have it on good authority that my comment that starts with "Aah-ha!" is on the right track.
replyCharl always says he likes people to find their own meaning in interaction with his work. "Not a stone" reminds me of Simon and Garfunkel "I am a rock, I am an island." This is a riff off a poem written by John Donne in 1624:
'No Man is an Island'
No man is an island entire of itself; every man
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
own were; any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
reply'No Man is an Island'

Aah-ha! This makes more sense:
---
"She was (not like the other girls)
(I was) born under a stone
(We were) born with a single voice
She was born in a UFO
Born in a UFO"
---
"There’s no direction home she pleads
She cornered me against the trees
I was home I thought, my life could start"

Wow! Sheryl Hill, you sure put a lot of effort into that! I'm impressed.
replyI really love these puzzles that make you think, and when you're not sure of the outcome it makes it even better. This puzzle takes it a step further and invites you to decide what it is!
