Filling In the Blanks

I am wondering if this is one of those moments the kind that fit into that loop of tape playing over and over in my brain those fleeting moments when you you did not think you needed to pay attention but realize later it was a pivital moment in youe timeline... lifeline I remember staring out the window at the grass that had not turned brown over the winter, seeing it peek through the snow on the graves on the hill the brilliance of your red dress that summer as it spilled off the picnic blanket and touched the grass hiding behind the brick wall of my middle school on my bicycle, just to catch a glance of you for the last time,as and i would be going on to high school they are turned down corners in a mental scrapbook i carry... flashes that come around without warning when i close my eyes in the sun We used to joke about the soundtrack of our lives.. as if someday someone would make a movie of or lives and i would hear "comfortably numb" in the background
