Were they really the good old days? I used to bicycle to school when I was young and on the go. And in Wintertime I mind it was not nice. We kids would ride our bikes Through slush, and often through the snow. On surfaces made treacherous by ice. My bike was put together with parts filched from ******* pit. Parts garnered here and there and taken to my home. I washed them first in kerosene, then soaked in oil each bit. Once assembled, then the World was mine to roam. Although it looked quite battered and it rattled every ride, And the wheels, they wobbled, and it had a squeak. That bike was mine, all mine, and if you classify by pride I reckon RollsRoyce would not stand a chance, well, so's to speak. But the brakes on that bike they never worked. And its metal handlebars were bare. And in Winter it was scary stuff, Because of brakes, and ice on roads, And never having gloves to wear. At school (with bike stowed in racks) I would join the queue. My runny nose and hurting ears, Numbed hands and fingertips quite blue. Shivering, cold before the classroom door, Waiting for my turn at taps and running water, And for my hands to thaw.

A Childhood Memory
Dappled smooth marble stones falling, onto a heap of feathers slowly. A train of bones. Sharks ... swift & deadly.

Memory
Your memory is a monster; you forget - it doesn't. It simply files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from you - and summons them to your recall with a will of its own. You think you have a memory; but it has you! Memory can be protection; a defense to shield you from trauma Memory loss can in fact be a type of healing for the mind to further heal itself Memory, O memory how human yet divine thou are! Memory is mystic, spiritual, and strange Memory is a force; a divinity in its own right Memory is memory

Cocktail Memories
My mother asked me what was my best and favorite year. I said 2002. Because in 2002 I was a happy 6 year old. My father was the only man I loved and my mother was my best friend. The only stress I had was getting up early to go to school. Money didn’t mean anything to me. Survival wasn’t important. The media was just a loud picture box. And opinions were irrelevant. Just Saturday cartoons and the world being the color baby blue. From 2002 and so on and so forth, everything started to change. Baby blue was turning to a less charismatic gainsboro; and then a Spanish gray.   Before I knew it. It was 2006. The loud picture box was now a god. 2010 is where Mr. Washington and Mr. Lincoln were now looked as tickets for treasures. Second to last is 2014 where you'd get awarded for taking a **** and then forgotten that same week. Now it's 2016. Far away from the baby blue. Far away from the pastel pink sunsets I use to gaze upon my second floor apartment balcony. Tired is now a common word. Napping is a blessing. Stress is all too familiar. And as everyday goes by, the farther I feel from ever having that 2002 feeling again.

2002
***Fill my glass   of vintage     pleasures,   top it til the bubbly overflows,    as memoirs     & recollections     effervesce      beyond lucid          drunkenness,    hungover midst        an endless          toasting of             intoxicated                sensibilities***

Drunken pleasures
It must have been thirty five years ago now, I remember the kid as clear as day His name was Eddie, or Timmy or something Remember him clear as day, I think it was Eddie Well, this kid was sure something A true believer in his ability to play the game He really loved it, ****** at it, but the desire You could see it in them brown eyes of his Or were they blue?, no matter...they might have been brown Anyways, kid had desire, no talent, but desire Played third base for me, thought he was a pitcher But, he played third...that I'm sure of He didn't have speed enough to move anywhere else And I think he was blind in his right eye, So, he could only move left Good kid, Timmy or Eddie Had an arm like a rocket the ball would just explode out of his hand I never knew where it was going And truthfully, I don't think he did either But, wow....it went fast, wherever it ended up Kid actually made it rain one day Just because he threw the **** ball so high into the clouds He was trying to throw to first, but hell, it went high Always smiling this kid, always... don't know if he was just happy Or if his jaw hadn't grown right for his teeth, But, he was always smiling couldn't hit worth a **** had a nice swing But, that blind eye....couldn't see a pitch until it hit him Cooled us down on the bench though Made a hell of a breeze when he swung He was good for that, lots of wind from Eddie, or Timmy He did get a hit once or twice, I remember that Scared us, scared him too I imagine But, he did hit it, and it did go a long way Problem was it happened so infrequently He always forgot to run And when he did, he ran like a duck *** wobbled all over, arms flailing, head still Quack, Quack...run Eddie, I'd yell He'd smile, and take off, couldn't see where he was going But he'd run....and he'd stop only when he felt like it I remember he was Mexican looking, or Spanish There, brown eyes...knew I'd remember anyways, he got called out for swearing once Knocked the **** cover off the ball then he stood there and watched it go By the time he started to run, He'd Holy ******* at least three times And got tossed by the umpire I argued, but, the ump would draw the line at two Three holy shits...that's a little much But, he knocked that ball into the next county He'd probably throw it there too if he tried The kid had desire, no talent, but a smile and desire Got tossed after striking out once too Struck out a lot, once he let loose with a barrage And I mean a barrage of swear words ....In Italian no less I always thought the kid was Mexican or Spanish or something But, he swore in Italian in front of an Italian ump Poor kid, three holy ***** in another language And he got tossed, If I could get him to stop at two....he'd be fine Eddie was a good kid, I liked him He tried, he smiled, and he was terrible couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat But he didn't care, and neither did I But, Eddie, or Timmy, whoever he was Was a good kid, I hope he remembers me as fondly as I do him.

I slumped to the type-writer on a foggy December morning, tired, recently broken up with a pretty girl, Allison. She was 32, older than me and had long dark hair, pale skin and a habit to chew her fingernails. Outside, the trees were bleak and jagged, raw from the latter-year chill. My TV had been left on from last night, displaying re-runs. Re - “I’m sorry about last night” re - “It’s fine, look. I’m coming back to pick up my stuff later today, don’t go anywhere” Re - “Okay” re-runs. Previous girl, Wendy, she was nice, worked at a grocery store in town. She could play the flute, though not very well. Sometimes she’d make horrible noises and call those sounds what we were, messy and all over the place, but that’s what made us “work” eventually she moved to Arizona to get back together with her ex from high-school. “Explain what it is I’m doing wrong?” “Excuse after excuse you’re always away, off in your own mind. Yet here you are, in the same ******* house all the ******* time” ex. Girl before that was Emma, she had a great singing voice, taught yoga and owned two dogs, one was named Oliver and the other Pam. Pam died very young, nobody figured out why. Emma cared about her dogs a lot, said she needed some space so she ended things. Time to sort through life. “Sort through these boxes, would you? There’s one of Pam with my mum, she looks so cute in this one” “I met all sorts of people at class today, this one girl, Tracy, wants me to go out with a few friends later, is that alright?” “Yeah.. yeah sure that’s fine” fine. I think I was sitting in front of that type-writer to begin something, something passionate, fresh and new to spice up the mornings.. Maybe I’d go for a walk. I had some boxes of Allison’s things beside the door, it stunk of her perfume and was full of clothes and shampoo, some pictures, too. Staring at the type-writer was a blank page, Jesus, five minutes I hadn't written anything. I began with “Chapter One” Before getting distracted by those re-runs on TV.
