"Power to the people

(We don't want it, we want pleasure)

And the T.V.s try to rape us

And I guess that they're succeeding

And we're going to these meetings

But we're not doin' any meetin'

And we're trying to be faithful

but we're cheatin', cheatin', cheatin'"

HERO. REGINA SPEKTOR

last night i fell asleep to THUNDER and lightning and rain and rain and rain and rain and rain and rain and thousands of pattering feet on my roof that whispered melancholy water afterthoughts to me, lullabies and drops that caressed my window screen and i heard the resonant guttural husky train bellow, its crisp concise warning whistle and then the world held its breath and i fell asleep in a smooth, cashmere silence wrapped closer than my bed sheets.

and i woke up to the musky, brisk petrichor.

shout outzzz to my godsister, to whom i owe that word :)
