Sitting for lunch in a square in this town
(this town that I’m new to),
new fellow from my new town sat me down
and explained it to me:
how when I spin from him I spin from myself,
the center can double the speed of the crust.
Thank you, my treacherous friends.
I’m cringing for myself when I cringe for you.Hello, my treacherous friends,
and thank you for joining me here tonight.
I brought you all here to discuss, as I must,
how grateful I am for your insights.
This song reminds me, beyond the specific instance that recalled it, of an ex who used to provide me with ‘information’ in just such a way.
