A Ha'Sonnet Will Do
Somebody that
I used to know
stopped by to chat
'Twas awkward though
For I could see
for them and me
the past had passed

So now that I’ve put the Gotye song in your head, so here is the video for you to enjoy!
But I actually heard it first seeing this great cover video by Walk Off The Earth.

Ain’t no sunshine
when she's not here
But I won’t whine
into my beer
Oh, what, the song?
Don’t get me wrong
it’s not that hot

The Stone Butch Blues
played Cassidy’s
with such enthused
audacity
the place went nuts
as their hot cuts
devoured the hours

In response to the 9 September 2019 daily Smitten Book Challenge prompt at the Brave & Reckless blog and based on the title of a well-regarded book where the main character is a lesbian or a woman exploring her sexual identity, “Stone Butch Blues” by Leslie Feinberg.
