I’ve forgotten ten times more than I’ve ever known
and what I don’t know won’t hurt me
I know there’s an art to doing nothing productively
not seeing the truth as it is but as we would want it to be
is as sure as the sun coming up
I know there’s always a tinge of sadness when I think of the things I’d like to do
but know there’s no way I could actually ever do them
for a myriad of reasons
some beyond my control, others that weren’t
but all that’s for another time
the live music seems to almost always put a little extra ‘juice’ in the drink
it’s saturday night but I don’t feel like fighting
I’d like to tell you about the time I made it with a Miss Universe contestant…
but it hasn’t happened…yet. (note the optimism)
in comes axis annie as she is called for some reason now forgotten
she looks a little down in the mouth, her eyes glazed over
she spoke matter of factly
it was bad news and I didn’t really know what to say
so I asked her if she wanted to go bowling
she said yes, so we went kegling for a couple of hours
complete with mandatory beer and snacks
not saying much but just being together
we said goodnight and hugged
I still didn't know what to say
