It's Sha's birthday and she's asked me to come up with two lines of "beautiful poetry" to inscribe on the i-pod I plan to buy her. Apple apparently engraves up to two short lines of text. This is proving more difficult than I think it should be. I have been for the last few years actively attempting to de-sentimentalize my writing. Now, when needed, everything with any emotion is coming out trite & corn-ball and getting scrapped the second I come up with it. Yep.

On the upside, I borrowed six volumes of Can You Dig It? The 70s Soul Experience (Rhino, 2001) from the library tonight.
