"But close your eyes and it is sunset
At the edge of the world. It is the language
Of dolphins, the growth of tree-roots,
The heart-beat slowing down."

someone: "... so, what do you play?"
me: "... well, I've played bass for quite a while."
someone: (visibly "mentally" sighing...)
"yeah... everyone plays bass"...
