Notes

How many notes to self can you take? A road nobody drives for pleasure. Scan the dial for something sung in drawl. Get out & walk.

The older you get, the fewer options still tempt you: the wet membranes through which light enters our heads versus the eardrum, coins in a fountain versus coins in a jar. And if you want to feel every note you find a desert, even one small as a banjo head or unreachable as the moon. You go to a tattoo shop & ask them to take dictation on the parchment of your arm. Don’t try to explain. This isn’t that kind of trip.
