Comment:

an opus I am quite proud of. hopefully not too trite. it is a gift for someone that I am becoming romantically entangled with, but not every song is a love song. it's better that way, and I like that he knows this.

the title comes from my favorite co-worker, augusto. I was floating around all flowery and dream-like all night and he called it as he saw it. "a new man? he'd better buy you flowers."

"he's wonderful whether or not he comes bearing petals. he paid me the most wonderful compliment ever the other day..."

"well, you know what they say in my country."

"what?"

"a new broom sweeps very well."

he punctuated this with a knowing smile and a wink, and I giggled uncontrollably.
god, I know. but it's a fine mix.
