a dream I once lived in with vivid memories of nostalgia and the many people I’ve encountered and can’t remember along the way
some alive, some dead, some gay, some straight, some drunk, some sober, some successful, some still searching for success, (no one is a failure) some married, some single forever but the fragrance of our friendship is gone, past expired and evaporated.
I will never see them again until I hear about their untimely death and make myself present to a funeral I wasn’t invited to but...
today is not yesterday, today is not tomorrow, today is today, today is right now and right now is the most overlooked opportunity to make something happen
so tonight, just like the night before it and many nights after, the sun will settle down leaving the clouds burning red and the luminous moon will leave a smudge print in the night sky
I will not phone an old friend and play “catch up” with our lives and speak of old times past,
just sit in my fortress of solitude with the best strategy I know..... to get drunk without any.
