and this is how life should be spent,
talking about magic until late at night and
making wishes on the clocks
and writing stories.

when the world ends,
I want someone to think
just for a second
while the earthquakes crumble
and the skies collapse
that I lived in a dance
and I danced on rooftops
and major chords
and slow slow minor chords in a
broken piano
and I danced late at night
when the clocks broke
and the stars were wild through the ceiling.

This is one of those poems

This is one of those poems that needs to be read out loud. I'd love to hear you podcast this, or perform it. 

I just wanted to let you know

I just wanted to let you know that "slow slow minor chords" has stuck with me for a long time. I think that phrase is so so so so so so beautiful. And it's so simple but still so perfect to me; I find myself repeating "major chords and slow slow minor chords" to myself sometimes. Really awesome piece.
