raining

[smokedamage]

i made a little boat for my cigarette butt, and placed it in a puddle. with the breeze behind it, it floated away like Boromir in the canoe.

then the rain got really heavy and it listed and spun, and sank.

i think there's a lesson in that for all of us

Can I take what you just wrote and turn it into a song? If I get rich off it I'll give you a percentage.

I need to challenge myself on the guitar, I need to write, and that looks like a song Syd barrett would write.

Go for your life.

you can negotiate the deal with my lawyers, Dewey, Cheatum and Howe.

i would like to be in the liner notes, though.... and now my High Fidelity inner geek rises to the top. thanks very much...

You got it, I'll keep you posted.

Do you play any instruments?

i'd probably be genuinely shithouse if i practiced

I play guitar badly too! What a coincidence. But your song has inspired me. I mean your post, see, it's already a song. I'm going to make a Syd-esque ditty out of it.
