Coffee



Three cheers for very bad photo! Anyhow. You know, there really isn't much better for getting you into the christmas mood than sitting in a coffeebean (would have preferred starbucks, really) and sipping some coffee and soaking up christmas music and caffeine-inebriated atmospheric air. Actually, I fail to mention the sadder part of such a story; like how I was there for the sole purpose of completing my econs IA. Nevertheless, with a christmas spirit at stake, I managed to finish that little bugger before the joint closed shop on me.

B-Side

Who put this track on?
The tune's ticking, but we're not singing along.
And rhythm, it left. Long since you, had
So much
On your mind. Now mellow moods run
Amok, amidst melodies unfamiliar
Yet.

"I know this!" This rings a bell. Alarms
You, you never saw this coming.
This crotchet, that crutch. Hold the rest,
Come cadence. Suspense
Made simple, for the end you knew
Wasn't right. Left you hanging on A minor
Lack of conclusion.

Riled you turn-
Its airtime is over. All has been heard
That has been heard. But
What was left, is now under
The bridge, and past the chorus.
Not unusual though was the presence of further,
Hiding behind those releases once
Remixed, remastered; revealed
Through scrutiny and searching.
Now found, you scarce believe.

That b-side of yours,
Made simply forgotten.

Two posts in one! Though it's true that they are kinda short posts. Oh well, telunas beckons soon, and then maybe I'll be inspired to write more, although inspiration's sorely lacking at the moment, and various aberrations of work-derived origins threaten my very existence. I am no longer coherent, so I think I'll end my post here. See you guys in a few days. The holiday's really slipping away.
