I'm going to see Vic Chesnutt tomorrow night. I haven't seen him since I lived in Atlanta (where I probably saw him about once a month) other than in a crazy little puppet show in Brooklyn. I'm very excited. Wurd.

Little Vacation

like a little vacation
like a little old song that I want to hear
like a big libation
like a flattering sentence whispered in my ear

that’s what I want
every time I try what I'm trying for
why don’t we have a little symposium
where everybody takes the floor

like a scenic vista
like a long awaited chemical buzz
like a far off twister
like an unexpected pleasant run-in with the fuzz

that's how I feel
every time I feel like I want to feel so
why don't we have a little council meeting
and hash out something real

Robert's rules of order will be, be observed
I’ll be the parliamentarian
with an unswerving dedication

like a little vacation
like a little old song that I want to hear

like a flattering sentence whispered in my ear

that’s what I want
every time I try what I'm trying for
why don’t we have a little coucil meeting
where everybody takes the floor

Robert's rules of order will be, be observed
I’ll be the parliamentarian
with an unswerving dedication
