The Sunshine on the Gray Cloud

A few days ago I was reminded of something. I wanted to write it down but I never did. A few minutes ago I remembered this thing and rolled over to come and type it in here and after about five minutes I realized that I had trotted down another project's road; renaming a file title and moving from one directory to another. Then, I heard the orchestral version of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" and my world stopped again. It was the only thing worth focusing on. It's still playing in the background. As I listen, I can sense that memory of what I wanted to write down somewhere right underneath the surface of the fingertips that pluck away at these keys. Alas, the memory is not typed out.

Wet rooftops.
