one time a week

it is strange which muscle motions become habits.  in the course of driving my car i find myself reaching from the gear shift knob over to touch an invisible thigh.  it happens at random times and has no bias with regard to whether my mind is active with thought or turned off.  when i realize what i’m doing i immediately pull back, like the passenger seat is glowing red electric stove coil.  the only thing that gives me a sliver of relief from these constant burns is the video for gauntlet hair’s “human nature”.  i’ve watched it on a loop for several days.  i like when andy and craig smile at the end.

  1. It's not Michael Jackson, or even a sampled MJ in an (echoed for effect) S-W-V joint...but for a sticky summer day it will definitely do.

  2. i think in general it is a semi-sad reflective song. but unlike m.j. its ending is uplifting and positive.

    an equally valid interpretation recalls images of bodies grinding in the sticky summer heat, sweat tumbling in slow motion off split ends.

  3. Did you mean to turn me on Mr.Palmer...err, I mean Price? Proper friction always compensates for poor grooming habits.
