i'm sitting in my favorite armchair in the living room, staring blankly at the wall in front of me. i turn on the radio, keeping the volume low. these days, my head can't handle loud music anymore. the song playing doesn't matter - i just want some background noise, that's all.
i'm thinking... what am i going to do now? what will the new city be like? when will i actually start following through on all these new decisions i've made? and so on.
just as i'm thinking these thoughts, the song on the radio changes. a moment ago, i had no idea what was playing, but now this rhythm feels so familiar. all the thoughts in my head disappear, and my entire attention is caught in the song's rhythm. in the singer's voice, in the breaths between sentences.
thank you, radio. thank you, tom waits. once again, all my thoughts have drifted away. once more, i've been swept up in the rhythms, and tonight, i've forgotten everything.
nice: all
