i was kinda wound up earlier today

and i was talking to violin major
[actually i just found out today that she was a violin major
before today
she was just sweet little-girl-voice girl]

i was wearing my hoodie
and
i guess the juxtaposition of me in a hoodie
was worthy of comment
[i look like a hoodlum or something]
so she commented that
it was really not all that cold

so i went into this spontaneous story
about the cold and the wind and sweater sale signs
yesterday

and she said:

wow
that was a really mundane story
but something about the way you told it
i could not pull myself away

me:
it's a gift
