stoke that fire and send your train hurtling down that track
that’s my motivational saying for today\
I should try following it some time but today’s not the day
the sun was so damn depressing I had to go inside
all that brightness and lightness lightened my head, made me feel half dead
went inside a poured a cold one in the boston bruins glass
spilled my glass of happiness on the floor
and that’s all there was to it jack
so I made some green tea instead
read the tea leaves and I didn’t like what they indicated for my future
so I made another cup in the where the dog is is home mug
these tea leaves foretold of a happier future
it was an afternoon for reminiscing about the morning
daydreaming about the evening
I sip my tea and wonder where it all went wrong
the wind playing a sad song pianississimo
the world is very rarely black and white
it’s many shades of gray, many many shades
a family of six pine trees in the backyard, 3 were killed in last year’s hurricane
one died this year—maybe out of sympathy
now there are only two pine trees left and sadly, they don’t speak to each other
typical family I guess, dysfunctional, roots don’t mean a thing
you can’t choose your family or your tree
it’s sometimes better to leave the past buried
