Requiem
It came to me the other day:
Were I to die, no one would say,
“Oh, what a shame! So young, so full
Of promise — depths unplumbable!”
Instead, a shrug and tearless eyes
Will greet my overdue demise;
The wide response will be, I know,
“I thought he died a while ago.”
For life’s a shabby subterfuge,
And death is real, and dark, and huge.
The shock of it will register
Nowhere but where it will occur.
~ John Hoyer Updike (March 18, 1932 – January 27, 2009)

Joan Armatrading - Love & Affection
I really like how the pace of this song takes off. Also, Joan's vocalization in this older video are tip-top. Have a nice and mellow Friday.
