Remember the days when our shoes were stolen by the earth.   And false Truths could only be read    On purple stained Popsicle sticks. When we were willingly kidnapped by the antihero's of our Fantasy.    And Stockholm Syndrome devoured us whole. When false prophets graffitied their wisdom onto bathroom stalls.    While we washed our religions down the sink.    And our purpose along with it. When the letters of every books pages flowed into us    Like a torrenting river we struggled to make sense of    But reinvented us all the same. When we didn't believe a friends last words     Could be spoken through a mouth in the neck.     And the whisper we'd hear would fall victim to our failing memories. When we met the loves our lives everyday of the passing decade.     How our hearts shattered into countless parts.     Yet we loved through the pieces of it all the same. Perhaps these recollections have faded. Perhaps they still reside here. Or are mixed in with catalogs of fiction, So that we can learn to make sense of all these things.
