Peace upon the thing.
When you can't choose between
the filing cabinet and the Weimar newsreel
there's no law against both.

Peace upon the thing.
And also upon the other thing.

I can listen to anything I want
anything digital
as usual it's hard to remember
what it was I was thinking of
she did that cover of a Roberta Flack song.

Well sure, but WHICH ONE?
Bill Evans, perhaps
because there is nothing going to be better than
'Peace Piece' if you're in the mood
not for love, for wandering aimlessly around the kitchen
or lying on a couch and deciding whether or not
you should do that thing you should be doing.

I don't do it, then I do it.
Memories are insubstantial
unlike plates used in early cameras.
Sometimes a memory comes hurtling past like a frisbee.
Was that a pointe shoe? The prawn and mayonaisse rolls I used to like?

After 'Peace Piece' I listen to 'Some Other Time'.
Then stop.

Da dum.
