Aimee Mann at this Night

For a week, we are of the same age. But only for a week or so.

And I am listening to Aimee Mann tonight. You gave me that music and I took it with me to my new life. It is my soothing music now, it used to break my heart. And I am in California, far away from the cold and frozen and beautiful nights of New York.

Why I would leave there, and come here. And leave my city and heart unattended. Why I left my fortress to the open field, unequipped.

Much loneliness is being experienced in San Francisco, you said. And I feels it now, a new and quiet city. Maybe it is just another stop.

I wonder this night of your birthday, what you are doing? What music are you listening to?

And I hope your heart is full, like the swelling oceans of the Pacific.
