There's a song in this mood:

Maybe he and the inventor of the Isolator meet. "The isolator and the isolated"

Elephant / Jason Isbell

She said, “Andy, you’re better than your past”.
Winked at me and drained her glass.
Cross-legged on the bar stool, like nobody sits anymore.
She said Andy, you’re taking me home,
but I knew she planned to sleep alone.
I’d carry her to bed and sweep up the hair from the floor.

If I had fucked her before she got sick,
I’d never hear the end of it.
She don’t have the spirit for that now.
We just drink our drinks and laugh out loud.
Bitch about the weekend crowd, and try to ignore the elephant, somehow.

She said, “Andy, you crack me up”,
Seagrams in a coffee cup.
Sharecropper eyes and her hair almost all gone.
When she was drunk she made cancer jokes,
made up her own doctor’s notes.
Surrounded by her family, I saw that she was dying alone.

I’d sing her classic country songs,
and she’d get high and sing along.
She don’t have much voice to sing with now.

We’d burn these joints in effigy, cry about what we used to be.
And try to ignore the elephant somehow.
I buried her a thousand times, giving up my place in line,
but I don’t give a damn about that now

There’s one thing that’s real clear to me,
no one dies with dignity.
We just try to ignore the elephant somehow.

Somehow I missed this when you posted it, but dang. Crushing doesn’t cover it.

I seem to always carry three or four heartbroken songs with me and Elephant has been in that pocket for a long time...

Cross-legged on the bar stool,
like nobody sits anymore.

is the line I give to people to illustrate the point that, when writing, at its best simplicity is the best.

That one snared me. As did “sharecropper’s eyes”. Raymond Carver esque

Somehow this: Wang Xingwei — The Romantic Dust of the History of Male Heroism (oil on canvas, 1996) and the painting it refers to below should be a song. In some combination. Perhaps just the title. Or the noise provoked by the picture. Or all of it somehow.

Jonathan; a Tortoise Living on St. Helena, is the oldest confirmed living terrestrial animal on Earth. He is 186. When he was born George Washington had only been dead 33 years...and Abraham Lincoln was 22 years old.
