Next door, a dog plays enthusiastically, almost frantically, with a squeeze toy. When he triggers its mechanism, it says "I love you, I love you," robotically, always twice, and sends the dog deeper into frenzy.
Seven hours later, in a car, with the radio on, I hear the song "Easy Lover" by Phil Collins and Billy Ocean. Somehow this feels relevant.
Dear Charlie,
ReplyDeleteRather sad lyrics to that song.

I'm not sure "sad" is the word I would have used. I was leaning more towards "cheesy." But I did think it funny that I wrote an abstract post and called it "Easy Love" and then a few hours later, heard that otherwise-forgotten song on the radio, especially since I have very few opportunities to listen to the radio.
ReplyDeleteNow try to get the dog to squeeze to the beat of "Easy Lover" and you'll have yourself a YouTube celebrity on your hands.
ReplyDeleteI want to be the youtube celebrity, damnit, not the stupid dog!
