    We'll Be Fine

I had a dream that I was on a plane, and everyone on it looked the same, and a passenger whispered in my ear, "I've got news, but do not fear:

The outside world is reporting our flight is lost. We went over the ocean but never crossed."

So I stood up and screamed, "Where are we going?" And all the faces just like mine mouthed, "We'll be fine." CH

I woke up in a city where everyone looks a bit like me and the radio yelled in my ear my morning dose of hate and fear.

The outside world is reporting the outside world is lost. We tried to live together, but our wires crossed.

And I want us to see our crimes, but all I hear is, "We'll be fine."

    Duck, Duck, Goose

You pass by men, men crazy for you, quacking about what they'd like to do if you made them your goose. And I patiently sit, feet under my knees, waiting for your hand to tap me. Baby, let's be geese.

Duck, duck, goose. Am I the one you choose? Let me chase, and I know I will catch...

You run in a circle, and they all chase, but no man has won the race. Do you see the look on my face? I've got a hunter's quiet resolve; I'm ready for the cork gun to go off and touch your feathers soft. CH ...your heart.

So I planned to play at this bar called Iota, so I wrote a song called "Iota" that required folks to sing along. Afterwards, when I left the bar, some guy driving by screamed out of his car "I-O-T-A", so I think it had the impression I wanted.

Thought I'd make a video of me preparing for an open mic. Remember, friends, the key is just to DO IT from start to finish. No pausing, no looking back.

    Souls Mate

I don't believe in soulmates, but I believe souls mate. We might not be the perfect match, but our match might make... a perfect way to spend our days. So listen when I say...

I don't believe there's only one out there for me. But you're the one I want to help plant a tree... a perfect way to find shade. So listen when I say...

I think our souls should mate.

Saying I love you without saying love. — Kavalier

Well, I don't think NPR loved my song for them (actually, I don't even know if they really saw it), but you all might. Much love. -- Kavalier Calm

Me: I don't have batteries in the smoke detector in my apartment.

Girl at the bar: Uhm, okay? I think it'll be okay.

Me: I know. I just wanted to be fully honest with you about my place before I tried to get you to come home with me.
