  • BBC

    T-shirt depicting "Olaf" the snowman from "Frozen" with caption "I LIKE WARM HUGS".
    Getting chilly for t-shirts, but the cold never bothered me, anyway.

    Fun encounter with the fairer sex this morning. Went outside my apartment to the Farmer’s Market that usually serves only to deprive me of parking on Friday night. Browsed a little, then to the java stand.  The pretty twenty-something compliments my “Frozen” shirt with a giggle and asks what I’d like.

    “Well … I’ve been craving a BBC.   A big–”

    [beat, anxiety on her face]

    “black …”

    [beat, eyes widen]

    “… coffee.”

    She laughs. Funny she knew the acronym– maybe she’s on Craigslist.

    Anyway, she pours, I explain I’ve been wanting to use it for a while. “Well, not use a BBC, but the joke.” “You’re BAAAAD.”

    She mentions the shirt again, I say, “Yeah, I watch it a lot with the girls. I mean, I don’t watch BBC with them– er, well, I do” “You’re BAD this morning!” “I mean the British Broadcasting Corp.”

    She finishes pouring, but my cup runneth over.  I helpfully interject, “BBC ain’t fitting in there, is it?”

    She laughs again.

    We smile, we part and I walk home in the cold September rain.

     

  • It’s a Mad World

    All around me are familiar faces--
 ... worn out places
 ... worn out faces.

Bright and early for their daily races--
 ... going nowhere
 ... going nowhere.

Their tears are filling up their glasses--
 ... no expression.
 ... no expression.

Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow--
 ... no tomorrow
 ... no tomorrow.

And I find it kind of funny;
 I find it kind of sad--
that the dreams in which I'm dyin' are the best I've ever had.

I find it hard to tell you;
 I find it hard to take--
when people run in circles it's a very very--

... mad world.

Children waiting for the day they feel good--
  "Happy birthday."
  "Happy birthday."

And to feel the way that every child should--
  "Sit and listen."
  "Sit and listen."

Went to school and I was very nervous--
  No one knew me.
  No one knew me.
    Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson?
  Look right through me.
  Look right through me.


    And I find it kind of funny;
 I find it kind of sad--
that the dreams in which I'm dyin' are the best I've ever had.
    I find it hard to tell you;
 'cuz find it hard to take--
when people run in circles it's a very very--
    ... mad world.
