he’s very sweet and very dreamy on stage. despite the crowd of us which earnestly feels like the entire population of hawai’i has gathered to bask in his light, it feels like all night he is looking at me. i know it can’t be true or possible or even reasonable but it feels real, as real as anything, as real as midnight. and in this midnight i am rendered amazed and perplexed by his ability to be or transmit or imply sunlight when he sings and moves and watches me the whole time.
