Notes:

[7-9] Sorry for such a grossly narrative sequence, but it's only rained (in any classic sense) once here so far this year, and by mere chance I was listening to the Neil Young song in question when it happened. So it seemed worth chronicling that moment, fantasizing about more moments like it.

[19] Television turns me on when the summer's hot and the spirit's long.

[21-22] Eveningness / never / lasts long enough. The best colors of the day.
