We stand with a city on our separate porches celebrating neon-lighted rituals and candles. A summer night is sweeping, seductively relentless. We celebrate stolen yard lamps, midnight chases. When the world becomes profound for a moment... nothing to do but sit... watch. And perfection won't present itself too often... it's the feeling after the fact that remains, the French smoke a feeling, the shadow by your side a feeling. A day's inspiration, once inspired, never fades.

Twenty Minutes to Tuesday
We stand with a city on our separate porches celebrating neon-lighted rituals and candles. A summer night is sweeping, seductively relentless. We celebrate stolen yard lamps, midnight chases. When the world becomes profound for a moment... nothing to do but sit... watch. And perfection won't present itself too often... it's the feeling after the fact that remains, the French smoke a feeling, the shadow by your side a feeling. A day's inspiration, once inspired, never fades.
