Do you want to know what's on my mind? If you do, at any given time, listen to what I hum. It might be an indication of what I am thinking - or of the last word that hit my conscience. An example would be the word garlic (pronounced "aye" in French) which sends me into a rendition of "Aye, aye, aye, aye! Cielito lindo!" You see, only the sound matters: the meaning itself takes a backseat.
And if nothing else strikes my fancy, I go to bed humming the stupid song, grateful for a new day and new words...
