A Toast to Anyone

Alone on a train track who wouldn't drink,

to loosing memories we waste to think,

and spooning your soul into someone's face.

To learning Latin, and winning a race, to all those lost pauses and almost hads,

long ago crushes and wired creepy Dads.

To that screaming rage I had as a youth,

to getting lost and loosing you first tooth.

To all the landmarks that label our life,

to the ups and the downs, and my Aunt's wife.

Let me toast to all that lies in the sun, let me drink and whine until I am done,

let me make a spectacle of my fear,

as I call out for anyone to hear.
