Just kinda pining for the past, here tonight. The future couldn't *possibly* compare..or even come close..as it rushes headlong towards me. As fast as it whooshes towards me -- it is nebulous and near-invisible..I canNOT see ANYTHING solid there. NOTHING worth reaching towards.
And yet, the old days leave a somewhat musty taste in my mouth. Not glamorous at ALL, at the time...although sepia-toned and much-softened 'round the edges NOW. It's like my life has become a vaccuum, lately.
Tumbling ass-over-teakettle backwards...as the best is behind me.
Lessons, once learned, canNOT be unlearned, I don't think. There is no such thing as wisdom accumulated over time..only scars and bruises left on your soul to mark certain occasions.
My ragtag bunch of sparkling, precious trash, I raise my glass to you. Rest in peace; or whatever comes closest to it, I guess.
Once? We were INVINCIBLE.
