We Are Siamese If We Don't Please

About Me

"If you listen, you can hear it. The city, it sings. If you stand quietly, at the foot of a garden, in the middle of a street, on a roof of a house. It's clearest at night, when the sound cuts more sharply across the surface of things, when the song reaches out to a place inside of you. It's a wordless song, for the most, but it's a song all the same, and nobody hearing it could doubt what it sings. And the song sings the loudest when you pick out each note." From Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things
