listening to Gene Pitney at one o’clock in the morning: for Steve

we’d sing along
to every cut
your croak
my wail
there in Ohio
a cornfield
our audience
youthful dreams
in our hearts
so long ago
we gonna be strong
going twenty-four hours
to Tulsa
hear me now
old friend
world without pity
my voice
to you

  1. such memories . . . Funny, I’ve been having a few of my own like this lately . . . By the way: we worry about you ex`pats working and living in Turkey these days . . . Stay well!

    • I’d say it’s age that brings them on but then again it just might be “the age” that makes so much instantly accessible and thus brings on these associations in our minds.

  2. It is often nice to be like the sun peeking through windows and not knowing a full story of anyone’s day – reading this we don’t have to but we can also feel the warmth from afar, and it is nice that we can share words. This was lovely.
