Column Haiku

Sarah and I split
I'm moving to Lubbock now
There's oil in the gulf

Crow

Song of the month:

I'd been thinking about this song for a while; Gauthier does wonders with the lyrics and I was considering it for my next compilation album, but wow it's so depressing and now hits pretty close to home.

     It's not so bad alone here
     It don't bother me that every night's the same
     I don't need another lover
     Hanging 'round, trying to make me change

     Fish swim, Birds fly
     Lovers leave, By and by
     Old men sit and think
     I drink

"I Drink" by Mary Gauthier.
