what's broken
will break again

again and again

because it's only
held together
by a kind of
pretend--

something stupid
like hope
or a notion of
fairness

this world is not fair

the broken keep
breaking

and all the faith
and all the glue
and all the want
can't make anything
more
out of a pile
of pieces

so pieces you stay

and who wants that?

  1. Who wants that? All the members of "LET'S ROMANTICIZE WHILE WE STEP BACK INTO THE FIRE AND BEAT OUR HEADS AGAINST THE WALL ANONYMOUS".

    ...I hope I never relapse


    By the way, your fish are still skinny. Please get them some help.

  2. There's a line in a song where the guy says if he had it all to do over again he would make more mistakes. I sense that you wouldn't agree with that sentiment, B. I think I'd like to sit down with you over too many drinks sometime and find out about all your mistakes.
    As for my fish, I can't help them until they admit they have a problem.

  3. The guy in the song is right but at some point you have to take a hard look at how your "crazy life" is hurting the people you love. I vowed off crazy long ago for my little angels. Now that they're grown there may be a mistake or ten or whatever in my future. Not that I need to be "Meet me in Montauk" stupid. Making the exact same insane mistakes is ......

    You have too many drinks. I better keep it to one or two or you'll end up with a sloppy drunk girl on your hands. Don't think you want to hear about all my mistakes. You wouldn't respect me in the morning. Or ever...
