the secret track’s secret track


. . . and so on the morning when he wakes to the realization that the unfinished line is from a song, he tries to hum it, or to hum what is behind the words that he hears in his head, not realizing that in this particular song, these particular words aren’t actually sung but spoken, and there’s only the barest melody.

Here come the planes, so you better . . .

he singsong-says to himself over and over, thinking he’ll finish the line instinctively, half-melody hovering in his mind at the edge of recognition while he sits for hours by the window watching people and cars . . .





real real gone for a change


. . . in the road below, airplanes in the sky as rare as rain. But he can’t place the song no matter how hard he racks his brain—and then one morning, when, as always, he wakes to the line in his head, almost in an instant he realizes that the song is on one of his twin playlists that he has listened to over the previous months and years. With mounting excitement, he returns to the lists. . . .
