hi kids! i hope all you northern hemisphere-ites are having a lovely summer. i certainly am enjoying it.

i leave tomorrow morning to fly to northern wisconsin for four weeks of chamber music camp, and then i go to western north carolina for three more weeks of a different chamber music camp. ergo, i will be mostly MIA for seven weeks, although i will have occasional internet access and there may or may not be postings.

enjoy yourselves and stay safe.

love,
lucy

happy [almost] summer.

---

if it takes away the pain it’s alright
we’re livin’ so hard you might not make it through the night
follow the bright lights
they might change you
if you get lost along the way it’s alright

we'll find another way to dance
we'll find another way to dance
if you get the chance
you must dance dance dance

if you get caught out in the storm it’s alright
you’re livin’ so hard you can't stay dry when you’re out tonight
stare at the bright lights
they might blind you
look at them too long and you might see it’s alright

we'll find another way to dance
we'll find another way to dance
if you get the chance
you must dance dance dance

be what you believe
stand up break free

be what you believe
bright lights can’t see

we'll find another way to dance
we'll find another way to dance
if you get the chance
you must dance dance dance

used to be one of
the rotten ones
and i liked you for that
now you're all gone
got your makeup on
and you're not coming back

bleaching your teeth
smiling flash
talking trash
under your breath
or under my window

park that car
drop that phone
sleep on the floor
dream about me

If you comment...

1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll challenge you to try something.
3. I'll pick a color that I associate with you.
4. I'll tell you something I like about you.
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this in your journal!

Hope everyone is doing well!

hi kids,

how are you? i'm well, and oddly rested.

there should be more poems coming soon, because now i have a creative writing class and actually have to write with a deadline. curses.

that's it, have a good week.

love,
Lucy
