When I was a kid, my brothers and I used to walk up the hill from our house at dusk. We would throw pieces of apple and orange into the air, and fruit bats would swoop down and snatch mouthfuls of the morsels from over our heads, or nab them from our little fingers. I have fond memories of spending many an evening with my brothers and the bats up on that hill. And as it happens, I'm also quite fond of songwriter Eric Johnson's indie folk/pop group Fruit Bats. It's been spinning a lot here lately, and I thought I'd share one of my favorite tracks from their 2003 release, _Mouthfuls_._If i broke my jaw for youI'd find a bloody tooth and rip it outthrow it in the waterwhere it'd flow until the riverlet it outout across the flood plainit would float until it reached the open seaunderneath the sand and siltand in between the smooth stones and seaweed
Love is like a spaceshipburning up when it hits the atmospherewishing that for once it might have wised up rightand stayed away from hereup in outer space where there is no oxygen and nothing makes a soundmartians built canals to bring the waterand to sail their vessels down_
