That's Lara's car. I'll be working on that with my pop when he arrives in town next week. Lot's to do. But here's the thing: the interior of her MG looks better than mine, and the more I work on it, the more I'm looking at my car with a long-avoid critical eye. So I make plans. I have a few ideas. I spend a half hour in the parking lot of a giant megastore painting the floors with black Rustolium. I think Fiber glass is next. Or I buy a spot-welder. I think I can make poems with a spot-welder, and so might justify that investment.
Happy Flag Day.
I was gonna post a poem, but while driving today, I heard (and so sang along with) Fine Young Cannibals. Here's the video (watch the guitar go on fire!):
Here are the lyrics, so you too can sing along:
I cant stop
The way I feel
Things you do
Don't seem real
Tell you what I got in mind
cause were runnin' out of time
Wont you ever set me free?
This waitin' rounds killin' me
She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I cant help myself
I cant get
Any rest
People say
I'm obsessed
Everything that's serious lasts
But to me there's no surprise
What I have, I knew was true
Things go wrong, they always do
She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I can't help myself
I won't make it,
On my own
No on likes,
To be alone
She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I can't help myself
Uh huh huh
She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I can't help myself
Uh huh huh
She drives me crazy
Like no one else
She drives me crazy
And I cant help myself
