Music/  /June 24, 2007

Hey, Unknown. I'm rediscovering music. I'm rediscovering listening to music, on my own, without doing anything else. Just clapping on a pair of headphones, laying down on the floor, and letting some disc roll. Letting those sounds fill up my head without any other distractions, not as a distraction from something (like work) and without anything distracting me (like any internets that might come by) from the music.

I like it. I like to just close my eyes, and get wrapped up in sounds. I like remembering that old experience of putting a needle on a record, laying down, and waiting out the pauses between tracks. I like being alone in that dark space, just grabbing on to each chord and each hi-hat and each quiver of the singer's voice. Grabbing on with my mind, I mean. In case you have forgotten about this, please try it again.


Stop me
won't you
If you heard this one before
The one where
I surprise you
Showing up at your front door.

It's light past ten every day now, Unknown, and that makes me think of you. It rains a bit every day and it feels soft.
