We Don’t Talk About that Anymore
And the hours moved along just like any other day
But the sun went down and I closed my eyes
You were a thousand miles away

Fists Up and Ready to Brawl
You know you can’t change me
And I know I can’t change you
Remember back in the day when
Neither of us wanted too

In Spite of All It Brings
Irene rolled in at midnight
Lit on smoke and beer
Proudly crawled to the porch and called,
“Your favorite child is here.”

Look Out Mama
There’s a white boat comin’ down the river. With a big red beacon and a flag, and a man on the rail. I think you’d better call John ’cause it don’t look like they’re here to deliver the mail.
About
Author Ken Bielen compares Powderfinger to film noir because the narrator has died before the song begins, and notes that the song “has remained in high regard over the decades.” Bielen regards the theme as “the tragic and wasteful loss of youth to conflicts between countries and their leaders.”

Birds and Snakes and Aeroplanes, Part 29
Fauci, a member of the White House coronavirus task force, has expressed concern and frustration lately about “a general anti-science, anti-authority, anti-vaccine feeling among some people in this country.”
Birds and Snakes and Aeroplanes, Part 28
Life in the time of Coronavirus is hard. I’ve been quarantined since June 23, after somehow having 4 exposures in 4 days. I got a test, but they say it will take 3-5 business days. I’ve watched all the above average TV shows. I’m profoundly bored. I don’t have much to say anymore. Let the words be yours, I’m done with mine, and so forth.
I’ve been looking for a song that sums up how I feel. About life. Isolation. Fighting with people on Facebook over masks. Missing my kids. Wondering if they miss me. Wondering if I’m doing right by the good people who work beside me in my office.
I think this might be it.
Birds and Snakes and Aeroplanes, Part 27
“And I could take a Greyhound home, but when I got there it’d be gone. Along with everything a home is made up of. So I’ll take two of what you’re having, and I’ll take all of what you got. To kill this goddamn lonely, goddamn lonely love.”
All This Time Has Only Made Me Older
Would you know me if I walked through your doorway?
Would you hold me like you’ve done before?
Will there be a place for me?
Down Like Silver, from Money Heist. Cassidy told me a year or so ago that it was the best show on TV. She was right, as usual.
