Last Summer

Last Summer

As recently as last summer (3x)
I felt fine
Nothing but time
Losing my mind

And I wait but now: seasonless glow
And there’s nowhere to go
Blowing the grass that’s lost all its green
And the trees hide their shade

As recently as last summer (3x)
I felt fine
Nothing but time
Still in my prime

And I wait but now: winter will slow
And there’s nothing to show
Savor the morning cold, no longer old
Still goodbye

Your outfit matches your purpose
Your purpose matches your sound
Your dancing matches your climate
Your climate matches your crown
Your housing matches your tempo
Your tempo matches your frown

Wild Card

Mr. Companionship

Mr Companionship from CHEER-ACCIDENT on Vimeo.

In 1998 and 1999, Thymme worked as a security guard at the Presbyterian (Retirement) Homes
in Evanston, IL. It was a vast complex, with many residents and workers, but the only employee
Thymme made a real connection with was a Jamaican custodian named “Martin,” who would come
to be known as “Mr. Companionship” (long story). A few months after Thymme quit that job (to resume
his true calling as a pizza driver), he and his friend Jamie (who was about to become a member of
CHEER-ACCIDENT) decided to pay Mr. Companionship a surprise visit at his home in North Chicago.
As it turns out, this visit just so happened to land right on Mr. C’s 71st birthday.
