Lo, we have become the machines of our machines and the cast of our own memories.
You know you’re getting old when you look forward to the past.
A past revealed like an onion being peeled back.
The tears can sneak up on you.
Friends long remembered, pop in at the stroke of a finger.
So inversely wonderful to have more friends from high school than I had in high school.
People seem so much more resilient than my memory.
I suppose friends concentrate over time while my recollection is ever more dilute.
So many un-friended faces still swim through my turbid mind.
Echoes and Ghosts, Echoes and Ghosts...
