She walked underneath my umbrella
Near enough for me to smell
And I was grateful to the rain for putting her there
She stayed close to me
Never touching
Ignoring the rain
We talked about India, where she was going
And about her penchant for overthinking things
And how hard it is to relax
We waited for the cabs on Fifth Avenue to part
And let us cross
Together
If she knew I was in love with her
She never let on.

In 2020, quarantining from the global pandemic he worked remotely with other artists to record a collection of new music called Observations, that infuses his punk roots with introspective acoustic pieces.
