Girls skied through the trees to wait at the chair
It takes Matt a minute but he always gets there

Already hard to keep up at eleven and eight
Suddenly middle school and third grade

When Julia’s on a call we try to stay quiet
It’s one of her projects she’s working on climate

Pragmattic grew trying to make it last
Always rushing home after teaching class

Carpool, horse lessons, soccer games & practices
Gotta check the calendar keep track what day it is

Three years postponed but we made it Down Under
For an outback trip in a land of many wonders

So many wonders this year

Memoranda twenty-two
A song we write about the things we do

We hosted family in the California sun
Julia hopped over for a quick trip to London

Scraped knees on a reef from Hawaii surf lessons
Down at the Shoreline we caught Imagine Dragons

Cadmium streams and we played our first shows
A warm Thanksgiving this year in Chicago

Made it so long without exposure
A little isolation until it was over

How can this year be over?

Memoranda twenty-two
A song we write to keep in touch
