about

A song about "that summer feeling", as Jonathan Richman would say.

Check out the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoNPIvP0uug

lyrics

This summer is placed right after
last summer in terms of time
from now on, for me, this is the structure
everlasting breeze
unreachable grime

someone’s mowed grass on my tires
a stranger’s work in sight
summer reading of some author’s devastation
the strange work of the night

I’ve taken flight
brief, solitary flight
flying away

Listen now
the way I say it, and not what I say
Listen now
to what I say, and not the way I say it
oh not the way
oh not what I say

Next summer is noisy and visual
you’re a busy bee, but I take you afar
next summer is mental and spatial
you’ve never met me, but I know your memoir

Someone’s debt landed on my doorstep
life was circular
all this noted and reviewed in my notebook
life as seminar

I’ve taken flight
brief, solitary flight
flying away
