about

Have you ever gone into a bookshop, flipped through a few books, and then the next thing you know it's after sunset and the shop is closing? It happened to me, albeit on the shortest day of the year in Stockholm airport.

lyrics

It pulls the Sun across the sky
with wool that’s spun of plots and tied
to far-out wonders lost nearby.
As warp drives run, space-time will fly
and tear asunder passersby
and dear assumptions underly-
ing vapid slumps they occupy.
Climactic undertakers cry,
“The chosen one’s about to die!”
but Chekhov’s gun’s return is nigh,
and set to stun, it acts, whereby,
the battle won, the other guy
has just begun to say, “Goodbye!
Now I’ve got funner fish to fry”
when all he's done is wrest awry;
a bounty hunter dares reply:

"Do you have money? Won't you buy?
It's eighteen-hundred hours and I
should shelve the unbought books and try
to count demand and resupply."
