ideas for ‘missed connections’

[Sappy]  You: Reading poems in the library. Me: At the next table, writing poems for you.

[Creepy]  You: Staring out the window. Me: Staring back from behind that tree.

[Retrospective]  You: Wondering where I was. Me: Living next door.

[Modern]  You: Checking your phone. Me: Checking my phone.

[Incompatible]  You: Running a marathon. Me: Lying in a ditch as you pass by.

    I read this while listening to Boards of Canada’s Geogaddi, resulting in some pinkfloyd/oz situation. I can’t decide if Gyroscope ought to sync up with [Creepy] or [Modern].

    What inalonelyplace said.

    Boards of Canada seem to have this effect – I’ve twice tried writing in sync to their albums. Great motorway music too.
