I heard a song today that I know I am not better for having heard. **** you, Steve Forbert and **** you for                          "But everything burned                          And fell from my hand                          I had to turn back                          Or build a new plan" My life was better before this affirmation of the universal human experience of whole entire worlds burned to less than ashes in those moments of clarity.                           "Meet me in the middle of the day                             Let me hear you say everything's okay                             Meet me in the middle of the night                             Let me hear you say everything's alright" We could have stopped at "Romeo's Tune" and danced forever in the kitchen of my heart. That might have been the nostalgic space you occupied but you weren't ever happy until you had force ****** me:                           "You're thinking you've found                             The one special place                             Where all your dreams                             Will walk out in line                             And follow the course                             You've made in your mind                              It isn't gonna be that way" 1978-2020 More than forty years apart the same soul sick hurting! Can you feel it now when the sun warms your skin? Does your heart sing love songs as before? Did it feel like betrayal when you rejoined everyone who had been waiting? I need so much to believe you are ok now Steve Forbert.

I don't think this is done.
