Charlotte Gainsbourg, AnOther |
The other day
I found myself singing
one of those songs
Do you remember?
We were freshmen
I played my records
window open
waiting
for you to swim by
I cast out notes as bait
to draw you to me
"I love that one!" you'd say
I'd act nonchalant- "Really? Cool."
Really cool
Playlist as love potion
I remember
my heart flip flopping
like a fish on the deck of a boat
when you noticed
and sinking like the Titanic
when you didn't
Sometimes even now
a beat sneaks up on me
and I find myself singing
(despite myself)

playlist as love potion...smiles...nice...cool memories in here of a much more innocent time of life...well maybe not so...smiles.
So evocative of teen tunes and emotions! Well done you.
The powerful playlist - beautiful.
Stupendous last line to a fine poem.
'I cast out notes as bait' ... me too.
Really like how the flip-flop ties in...charming...
As someone who still makes mix tapes for his wife, this sung volumes to me. A playlist as bait has caught me many a time...
