Desperately trying to navigate the subways of New York City, the only thing running through my mind, "What's the difference between Uptown and Downtown?!?" I hear my mother beside me asking me the words to this song that the Bohemians were strumming on their guitar in the Subway... "I hear her softly singing these words "What I really want to know..., what I really want to say, is I'll be fine... and I'll get by..."
My worries disolved underneath the folds of her voice and I felt joy in rising in me. You know that hollow in your chest that sometimes aches? Well, that's where my joy was.
... And I no longer ached.

Yeah, well, I remember you singing on the subway also, little girl. In fact, I remember a duet somewhere along those subway stairs. Ha. We're a pair.
Okay, okay, I was singing Sublime, too. It was fun.
YOU are fun.
