some days last longer than others



turn the gentle spiral
of quiet realizations and quieter perceptions
Friday, April 22, 2005 9:46 PM

i remember once, a lady came in looking for Nada Surf
and i remember thinking to myself
what great taste she has.
i always knew they were good.
and i always had some Nada Surf somewhere.
but i must have listened to them just once.
until i finally went to listen to them again the other day.
and then, that i did, again and again and again.

i guess some things are kinda just there, you know.
just there...
existence acknowledged, but never given much thought.
or maybe not given any thought at all.

and just like that,
moments insignificant once
became twice and many times significant
and the replay button in your mind
is now being held down by a quiet realization.

the realization of a beautiful significant existence of some kind.

then came around little signs,
almost like the stars were aligned.
telling it like it is?
or maybe telling you like how you would like it to be

yet, even with all the distance and space,
a common thread of peculiar alikeness was sensed.
strange, this uncanny similarity.
stranger still, for it to be sensed.

i think the word they use is kindred.

well, a moment so soon and true,
nearest for the longest
a rather nice finale before the curtain falls.
