Mother of Pearl
I recently came across this song after not hearing it for a very long time; I’d almost forgotten how much I like it, how fun a good song can suddenly make my day, especially one about finding those little pearls in your life that you hold onto with all your might.

We have to because we must
Sometimes, when I hear or read statements along the lines of: ”Real is better than numb, so we have to keep walking, we have to keep the ground beneath us,” it makes me want to scream out loud.

Today
A delivery boy rode his bicycle down the street, winding the bike back and forth through the sun and shade, swerving to dip so low on his right that the pedal scraped over the asphalt as he swept, leaning right, then left, then back right again, so I could hear him riding to the end [...]
