Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 51

Today is Thursday, the 28th of March 2019.

Not really. Yesterday felt like Thursday but it was Wednesday. And now it's one of those days, you know...

"The City / Bromford"

Where are you now, my friend?

Pulling your bike past their windows again?

You know they won't let you in

You don't change the city

The city changes you

Where are you now, my love?

Still in the war with the Aphrodite Mob?

What was I thinking of?

You don't change the city

The city changes you

Under the lights

You fall into the rythm

You close your eyes

You don't see the shadows

Your shadow watches you

Where did it go, my love?

A mere song that echoed from the rooftops above

I've given all but I won't give up

You don't touch the magic

The magic touches you

When you close your eyes

And fall into the rythm

Under the lights

You don't see your shadows

Your shadows is watching you

Someday I have to say goodbye

To the city that moved me, confused me and soothed me

Someday I have to say goodbye to Bromford

I'm flying over Bromford

On a cold November night

The river snakes across the vast ocean of electric lights

The city is a living creature all on its own

And we all push like blood through its veins

So close together

So alone

Show Me, State, The Mother Of The West …

Kylie is calling from Missouri. We have visited 31 of the United States of America in the past few months, she says. Only 19 to go.

Why, I ask, are you doing this trip? Isn't it just another cheap trick to fill the posts of this blockblog of mine?

Oh, she says, come on. You've got to admit we've always wanted to have kind of a list of all the United States. And doing it like this is better than having to memorize them together with their capital cities.

Well… Here is one of these maps…

And speaking of these capital cities…

In the background I can hear the llama sing a curious song…

Kylie is calling from Iowa. South, we are going south, Kylie says. Springfield, Iowa, home of Charles M. Schulz and The Peanuts, she says.

That's a lie, the llama says. Charles M. Schulz is not from Iowa, the llama says. Stop faking like Bob, woman.

Okay, Kylie says. The Doctor is in, psychiatric help 5 cent.

I had to go to the school nurse yesterday because my stomach hurt…, I say.

You worry too much, Bromford Bibble… No wonder your stomach hurts… You've got to stop all this silly worrying, Kylie says.

How do I stop, I ask.

That's your worry! Five cents, please, Kylie says.

You guys are so weird, the llama says.
