i sang in the car
or tried to
and watched the smiles spread across their
familiar faces as
they laughed atmewithmeforme and
so i smiled too: it’s
nice to see them
smile, especially when they do soso
veryvery rarely

i imagine songs count
down from one hundred

ninety nineninety eightninety seven

and

sometimes if
you
reallyreally reallyreally really like a song the count down time bomb beating of your chest beats in time with the count down beating of the ending song
