woke up at 4 30.
hand and arm have that old familiar feeling
i'd say it's like an electrical burn
but it's more like my skin
is eating me
the sores pop up b4 your eyes
so i'm listening to Townes Van Zandt
because it's as close to God
as i'll ever get
preparing for the next flare
the next body part that won't work for a month or two
or more
or is it forever
this time
be your best you
the sooner the better
figuring out when you will peak
is like assuming there will always be good weather
debt i can't pay
friends have passed away
games i loved but cannot play
kids and grandkids
will only have stories of my yesterday
i used to make up songs
on the fly
for Evan and Lilly
it was like that doors song
riders on the storm
bottom of the bag
bottom of the bag
there's another fry in the bottom of the bag
bottom of the bag
and it became
taking Lilly home
taking lilly home
stopping at the sign
turn signals on turning right
driving lilly home
next thing i knew
they were singing with me
and zach used to hide in clothes racks at stores
but i would do that mission impossible thing
do do do do do do do do do do dodo
and he would go eeeeaaaaaoooo from under the rack and i would find him
my daughter just looked at me like i was nuts....it was an endearing quality, as well. she wasn't wrong.
be your best you
the sooner the better
figuring out when you will peak
is like assuming there will always be good weather
debt i can't pay
friends have passed away
games i loved but cannot play
kids and grandkids
will only have stories of my yesterday
