I'd take them bowling

 

If I had a dollar and time this time
I'd say hello to those thirsty thrifty hungry spunky needy few
The overlooked
I'd take them bowling
I'd buy them ice cream
I would go sailing and poor them champagne
I'd say this is life as i know it
This is the fun stuff
This is the stuff that us privileged experience
And so quickly forget

We are sorry
Thank you for understanding

which connection was it
i asked
i
alone

which connection was it that I lost my footing
that i started waiting for gifts to happen 
that i stopped answering the calls
that i stopped

which connection did i start taking myself less seriously

show me that connection
that
relationship 
highlight it in my journal
bookmark my history
teach me to be myself

because this connection needs me
as does the next one
and the one after that
and the one coming soon
and the one that may never be but if it were it better damn well be
me

that one too

Inside

like a painting is found

like a story's adapted

like in us all, light
