faraway, so close, up with the static and the radio, with satellite television you can go anywhere

how to bond with your favorite place in the world:
1) attend a party in a park
2) get rained on, as you shield your friend with an umbrella ('if you feel something in my pants vibrating, you're sitting on my cell phone'), eat gurken, and drink beer
3) as your feet get dirty, kick off your havianas and flee the torrential rain barefoot through wet streets splashing your feet into the puddles until they are washed clean

and i wake up and i ask myself what state i'm in, and i say, 'well, i'm lucky, 'casue i am like east berlin: i had this wall and what i knew of the free world was that i could see their fireworks and i could hear their radio. i thought that if we met, i would only start confessing and they would see that i was scared, they would know that i was guessing. then my wall came down and there they stood before me with the stumbling and mumbling and calling out just like me.'
