I thought about you again.
This doesn’t happen often
– it’s been so long since we spoke.
But that new song came out
and I know how you liked the Beatles
(you and all the lonely people,
I guess).

I heard that they were
the second biggest selling act
of the 2000s.
Did you know that?

The new song
has pieces of the four fine fellows
back from Liverpool
– even Ringo,
who’s been busy
with his EPs for a while.
It’s probably the best thing
the group’s released
in twenty years!

Now, I know you probably
are still upset for the little things I’ve done
like posting that your fiance was not for you
to all of our friends and foes
and telling you that you didn’t cry enough
at your father’s funeral
and for drinking way too much
later at your mom’s…
And then crapping in your pool

– but you never knew that was me,
so moving on –
anyway, you’ve got reasons to be raging.

But if those crazy kids from Apple
could reunite
when half of them are dead
and make something
that passes for the Beatles,
I don’t see why
we can’t overcome a little anger.

Give peace a chance, huh?
Imagine it!
