Wonderland or Not

The Kind of Music I Like

Tomorrow will be a day of redemptive isolation. Though no Walden Pond, my place provides seclusion when necessary. The solitude, an isolation of convenience created by the forecast of downpours and flooding, will be welcome. The week has been busy, and this evening I ate something that didn’t quite agree with me.

That’s tomorrow. Today is Old School Friday. The theme is The Kind Of Music I Like.

I can only explain it this way. I like many types of music, preferably good.

This was not good people, it was pretension.

Shirley Manson/Garbage do a much better cover.

This is good.

Also good, and provoked by my new found love of Gordon Lightfoot, at Compulsions — THIS.

What kind of music do you like?

kiss me clean
no,
don’t lick
kiss me clean
yes,
that’s it
—
lick me clean
no,
don’t kiss
lick me clean
yes,
that’s it

canapés and cocktails

Over canapés and cocktails,
in fashionable cocktail attire
after paying ten bucks for valet parking
it’s about Darfur darling

the incongruity of this escapes some
life is not just
I am not estranged from that fact

And I would rather be anywhere else
But here today

PEACE
