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?
.
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".
ReplyDelete...I hope I never relapse
By the way, your fish are still skinny. Please get them some help.
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.
ReplyDeleteAs for my fish, I can't help them until they admit they have a problem.
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 ......
ReplyDeleteYou 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...
