Indented lines

I won. My text will be published this fall. More information on kagge.no.

And I couldn’t help but wonder: why don’t we have girls night out more often?

Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush. And by the end of May I’ll be eating matrices for breakfast and writing code in my sleep. Trust me.

Don’t forget the words that made you smile a long time ago. Don’t forget the words that made your heart skip a beat, the words that gave you goose bumps in a good way. The words that made you smile a bit more, feel a bit better. And tell everyone about those words on World Poetry Day.

In december 1999, at The Party, Replay released the demo Fall Equals Winter. The tune on this demo, I realize, is something that always makes me smile more and feel a bit better. With lyrics that, for some reason, gives me goose bumps in a good way.

If I could gather all the stars and hold them in my hand,
the colors I would then possess would not be half as grand
as those which I have seen when I look deep into your eyes,
or come across when I have kissed your lips, I realize.

If I could ponder all the truths men sought since time began,
they would not teach me more than if I were to touch your hand
For truth to no one you have touched appear as simple lies
And nothing could be truer than your touch, I realize.

If I were given lasting life as only God could do,
I’d shun it all and turn away, if I could live with you.
For even God has never known the immesurable size
Of the love that’s within your heart, I realize.

So I’ll just stick my tongue out instead.
