Pre-Lunch Post

~ Some back-ordered DVDs arrived today. Barbershop 2 among them. I realize that I know nothing about ordering media for a public library... Too weird.
~ Had a long, bizarre conversation with a friend from out west a few days ago. Was left with the exceedingly strange thought of what his voice would wear, if it dressed itself. And what it would eat, what music it would play in the background, etc. (Like I said, the conversation was weird.) I've mulled the rest, but I've come up with one song so far--it was on the mix that was playing this morning. It's called 'Briefly,' from the CD Closer, by Better Than Ezra. He knows who it's for.
Wake me up
Slap my face
Draw me closer in
To your embrace
Cause nobody wants to be the butt of every joke
And nobody wants to be the one to pull the rope
So you harden your shell
Slowly losing yourself
And now I'm close
But not touching
And I'm cold
But not freezing
And I'm only alive
Only alive
Briefly
Can you feel
Could you love
Are you further now from where you started
I bet you do enough just to get by
Don't you
Cause nobody wants to be the butt of every joke
And nobody wants to be the one who's full of hope
And a cop's light goes by
And the moon lights the night
And now I'm close
But not touching
And I'm cold
But not freezing
And I'm only alive
Only alive
Briefly
And you're a starlight that shines
For a moment in time
In time

    The rest (the clothes it would wear, the car it would drive, etc.) will come to me, eventually.
