this text came to mind when i listened to the song "Patricia" by Art Pepper the other night:
hhhhmmmmmmmmm...................uuuuhhhhhhhhhh
oh yeah, baby.......... oh yeeeeaaaaah my friend........ lets glide now on to over yonder........there lies a land so softly still....... and it's too easy just to miss...... in a short snap uv'e passed it by......... no time but for that one beat of a wing...... a single wave arriving at some beach............ a short and stormily exploding thunderhead........... then baby, when u do get to the end, its gone .......... simply like that 'n just the way it started....... but oh, how lovely t'was and how terrifically we liked it .......... say, made not being in it , with it, all there, worth the price...... whatever it turned out to be ....... for almost every moment of them all......... and those that may yet lie ahead........one day the last one comes and turns a corner....... soft sounds are somewhere playing in the back.......time to let go, move on, tune out............while silence supercedes the song
