Two Sides

Can you hear your brain arguing cross-hemisphere with itself? Every thought, every situation, every possibility, every choice, every bad move, every wrong step, every faux pas, every step forward, every score, ,,, ,every one - all the time - every decision is denounced by logic and trumpeted by heart.

The different answers are sorted into columns and compared. Logic gives the heart her due but always wins the final tally.

But she shouts back, "Listen to the lyrics!"

It's a wise arguement he immediately realizes.

Is it really all just driven by the soundtrack? He frets it is, for he doesn't even have an iPod.

Another working day has ended ... packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes ... contestants in a suicidal race.

Ohhh, but I am so tired of those thoughts. Tired of thinking there's only one way to end the race. Change the background music.

And I will say thanks, if you're pouring my drinks. While the world waits for an explosion, a moment in time - when we'll be set free. So don't stay mad. Just let some time pass, and in the morning, you'll wake feeling new.

Oh, how I am sick of going to bed every night hoping for a better morning. Hoping to wake feeling new.

But don't forget ... you can change the soundtrack. In the morning, I can get through the day again - - - probably.

< as an aside, while trolling through his music, he wonders how it is that he has never seen Sonic Youth live. And he is sad. >

Some songs you listen to and you go, "Wow, I have always liked that song, and I will probably always like that song."

She keeps coming closer telling me, "I can feel it in my bones." Schizophrenia is taking me home.
