i like to listen to music when i drive any distance. my car, a 2017 Volkswagen Jetta has a pretty good factory audio, and i have Apple Music. That software platform is pretty good and because i recent bought some Julien Baker and Flock of Dimes and wanted to listen to the CD i'd just bought, their algorythm decided that Dave loves to listen to women singer/songwriters with decent production values.  So once the album finished it fed me an array of women who front bands.  Which to be fair was…

As the pieces
Fall into place
My mind wanders often
I find myself smirking
The culmination of
Delicious plans
Coming together
Hungry anticipation
My mind wanders
I see you
Images flood my mind
Pulse quickens
Beauty causing
Breath to catch
The smirk returns
Letters found and returned
Dead drops and laptops
Mysterious packages
More pieces placed
The grin reaches my eyes
Private smirks beneath
Masks and mundane
