					<description><![CDATA[As I wrote in January of 2006, when this song first appeared in A Year of Songs, it&#8217;s the third song I wrote &#8212; and considered a real song, as opposed to one of the several score of pretty awful early attempts.

Ah, well, the one thing we can be sure of is that it once and for all disproves any positive correlation between virtue and longevity. Not that I&#8217;m that old.

It was written while I was in the grips of a fascination with what we might call &#8220;cosmic whimsy.&#8221; The simplest objects and ideas had deep metaphysical resonance for me, imbued with a sublime and reassuring humor.
