Emerge from union station at midnight
Glide past flashing lights, police cars, fire trucks. Tired firefighters open and shut drawers, compartments, cabinets in revolving red and blue and yellow like stewardesses cross checking a flight about to crash into the ocean. Go to the edge of downtown and wait under broken streetlights, stand on the thin peninsula jutting into dark unknown. Streaking lights, motors, traffic sounds like crashing waves. Searchlights play in twins, illuminating gray clouds. A man in the distance gesticulates wildly, angrily, soundlessly. Stand still in the cold. Don't play music, read, shuffle, distract yourself. Listen, watch, feel. Let the city be itself.

In your grief, you have given the site today the flavor of a wake. In a way I'm jealous. I couldn't drink when Suck.com died; and wouldn't have had anyone to share it with anyway. So for it, and you, and the feelings we've had in common, tonight I'll raise a glass at the bar.

This makes me melt. Post (or link) something that makes you melt too.

Someone, somewhere has invoked the Two Names of John Oates and Daryl Hall
Or is that four names, actually?
