I always just... stop.  stop this now. You made the hole you took the shovel and you made the hole. You bought daffodils you took your time you dallied you thought this day would never come when you would have to grow up, face the sun and hit the wall. You asked for them to let you, fall, thinking, hoping that you were never going to be the kind of person who tumbled. as if you were special, were different from the status quo of other quarter century beings lost in a crowd of crows picking at the remnants of a hopeless future, after the crops of university knowledge failed. and now, in this coffee shop where you wait for tips, you remember that you once wished for anything but the tracks you were in. the ones for your career, that you were so weary of. before even starting.
