I think I’ve posted music during National Poetry Month before – right? In any event, you know how sometimes a song speaks to the exact moment you’re in? I’ve been listening to The New Pornographers’ 2003 album, “Electric Version,” a lot lately, and especially to “Ballad of a Comeback Kid” on repeat. It’s become my anthem of right now.
Ever so careful, on the strip we cruise
Crippled in someone else’s shoes
Who knew? Mind you
I never had to stand in line, you did
For the ballad of a comeback kid
What’s YOUR anthem of right now?
