There’s a part in The Perks of Being A Wallflower that describes riding in a truck at night withpeople you love, watching traffic lights and listening to “Asleep” by the Smiths. The narratorcalls it feeling infinite.
Coming back from dinner and the music store tonight, we took the back way around Danville. Jon hadjust bought the new Flaming Lips album, and it was playing, and he and Amanda were silhouetted byred and white lights and I was in the back and for a few minutes everything was right with theworld.
It’s a good feeling.
Idon’t know where the sunbeams end
and the starlight begins
