Retrospective Rendezvous 39

cover me as i go downtown where we used to go and play pinball so many lifetimes have past since those magical moments of feeling older in my era of childhood youth if i was a painter with a rare gift of magic, i would paint the reason back into life and order a sprite with a cherry in the middle as i think about all the heatwaves, deluges, and snowstorms that have come and gone, i think about a time when 6am to 2pm on saturdays were the golden time of day as i close my eyes and get lost in the taste of this push-up, i think back to a time when certain cities were safe havens of serene simplicity i guess every birthday that passes makes me miss it all even more....then again, as time makes time forget time, it seems even more like that particular time did not even exist....until those retrospectives creep into my mind and bring back time machine memories of benevolent bliss i have prolonged making my wish enough i guess i will go on and blow out the candles now praise the Lord for the Gift of another year....
