People think they know you. They know the things about you that you have forgotten.

-      Mick Jagger

Times go by

very slowly and agonizing

like.  The flip of the page

is always seemingly the easiest

to do.  The boxes are packed,

and we are ready

to go.  The truck is loaded;

say it isn’t so,

when it is.  Kick ass times

is what we leave here

in this empty house. 

Only blacked out memories

remain in the hollow shell

I called home. 

Times were tough around some

of the bends.  Sometimes we tend not to see

the value in something

until it has passed. 

This semester has been different

somehow.  Was it the different scenery? 

Was it something

else?  Maybe it was the nights

with bonfires I don’t remember!? 

One thing is certain; I never really know

what is there until the time has ended. 

I look back on the events of the past

year and look upon them

in envy. 

Next year I will

have to do better. 

I only have enough for one

double shot now.

Next year, I might finish it off

before time is up

Next year I might remember

the ending.
