she asks in a concerned, worried voice.

I shake my head.
I like the music,

just not the things I think because of it.
Hannah smiles slightly.

We listened to a lot of other music by that

Lizard-Gizzard-King Wizard band,

some that scream and turmoil,
like a Gazelle trying to escape a Lion’s grasp,

and others that make me feel sleepy,
some that relax me and take me to another place,

and there are some that I fall in love with.
Honey is one.

There is also one called Straws in the Wind.

The singing on that one is special,
and then there is the song of something like

a flying banana.

The name makes me laugh,
but the songs remind me of life back home,

especially the instruments Hannah called guitars.
