Dreams of Death

Inner Strength

1.
The only thing I know is hate
But I am good at it.

2.
I curse the day that abyss of a womb
Wretched me into this world.

3.
I died somewhere in the past
Perhaps upon my birthday
Every day since
I just rot a little more.

4.
Somewhere outside, deep in the ground
There lies a body that's never been found
Silently staring through hollow eyes
With fleshless skin and dirt for a sky
No one will know I ever was there
No one will know, and no one will care.

The Most Important Things You Must Recognize

For us now, for you later; even though this will not be a headline ever

Two elderly people are taking Their elderly Dog for a “short walk” in a few minutes.

When they come back home, they’ll Throw down a couple shots Of top-shelf tequila Then have sex/make love On this lovely afternoon.

Not a headline, Too many words And old people fucking (“Ewwww”).

But this, for us, is the essence Of retirement, thus far — So fuck you, headline writers!

Two Georges

George Martin told the very young Beatles, At their first recording session, referring to his studio work with them, “If there’s anything you dislike, please feel free to say so.”

George Harrison, the youngest of the Beatles answered, “Well I don’t much care for your neck-tie.”

George Martin laughed, and the Beatles Became The Beatles.

As we age, even those of us not cast in bronze and iconic look back at moments From our past And realize How small they felt at the time and how huge they turned out to be.

The smallest things often matter the most.
