This is so great it works backwards too reading line by line in reverse order or reading the stanzas in reverse. Brilliant Jonathan, you picked the best titles.
I hadn’t listened to Poliice in a long time, and then this morning they came up in my feed. We listened to them for awhile before lunch. I came back to Substack, and I found this first in my feed. Serendipity! Love the poem! Thank you for sharing!

Or, as Sting said:
With one breath, with one flow
You will know synchronicity
A sleep trance, a dream dance
A shared romance, synchronicity
Jonathan, put to some music. You know what I’m saving. So glad you have been doing these song titles.
Thank you, Monica. I might try to.
Every poem you write helps beat the King of Pain.
There's a little black spot on the sun today ...
The other ones are complete bullshit.
Love it.
(That’s a Police quote for anyone unaware!)
There's a house on my street
and it looks real neat ...

Thanks, Mathew

Love & theft, ah yes…!
It takes time for an echo generation to be heard.
