(no subject)
it delivered a chill because for that moment i understood. i live for moments like this. when something simple comes together in your head and meets the right synaptic connections. its too easy to say 'of course..' and 'i knew that already..", but marked moments of realization dont come around so often, so when you have an aww-shit-light-bulb-a-ha! kind of epiphany, you keep it near you.. soak it in.. and bask in its sunshine.
i conned a friend into going to the haight with me to look for some music. i know, its a bad thing. i knew damn well what i wanted to do, even though when asked, i replied with.. 'i dunno, what do you feel like doing?' all the while im whispering in my head 'say music. say music. say amoeba!' you see, i keep a list in my wallet. i used to text myself a list, but that was too tedious and took up too much room. probably not the most economical way, but a good find is a good find.. is a good find. i hit 4 out of 7. sadly, i had to ask for two of them since one was stocked under electronica (believe me, i dont partake in the stuff, but they can categorize the shit any way they want, as long as they carry it.. even at non-import prices). album 1 down. album 2 popped up out of nowhere, it started with an s but was filed near w. album 3 was found in its normal spot. album 4 was no where to be found. according to them, they had one left, somewhere in the store.. possibly filed under 'o misc'. i covered z back to r, and o separately. nothing. it couldve been anywhere. i gave up. but my conned victim comes by to tell me her flashback due to the sound of plastic cd cases being flipped through, effectively pinning me against s. i reach over to p to see another album, not really paying attention to what it was i was really looking for.. when, by the luck of all heavens in the universe, i cop album 4. again, the powers of the universe at work to stop me in my tracks with a story, but still give me the urge to reach over 4 rows to select the right album, in the wrong section. yes. they smiled on me from above..
hello
im here to speak on love we have
everyones here because i am
all have felt me and seen me greatly displayed
and all have ignored me and seen me poorly portrayed
many wonder how do you express me?
thinking its a long equation.
but when i give them this answer,
love others as you love yourselves.
they think its persuasion.
i mean just look around you..
im everywhere
in your mothers hug and kiss,
im in that long conversation with a close friend for a while.
im even that strong feeling for someone you truly miss in the air..
im that feeling you get when you see a young child smile.
yeah. thats me.. thats me.
and thats love.
ill see you all around..
