it's been two years since I saw you play you're still singing the same songs (including the one  for me) I'm sitting on the same stool with the same friends I even get the same melty feeling in my gut when you say this next one is for a very bright young lady and smile in my direction suddenly I'm not just a lonely girl I'm a poet with a past (much more dignified and melancholy) I bet Mary Magdalane felt like this when she realized that Jesus was the son of god after your second set I run home to scribble until 3 am because that's what lonely poets do and because after two years and several major traumas you can still make me writeA work in progress...any comments are greatly appreciated!
