I Was Hip; But I Doubt I Understood

A lot of people I use to know are gone now; and Roe; Her brother went three days later; and it rocked me hard; He was only three years older than I am. So I suppose it follows that I wish I still knew you. Too many improprieties and apparently I’ve gotten stupid; Trying to make things happen; as if maybe I had an inside track. I tried not to let it go like that; but that’s where it went. I thought I knew what I was doing; but I guess not. I use to dance hard, run fast and now; There’s no one left that I use to know I couldn’t quit; too hip; and armed with Teflon; Life left me wanting; in a place with so little in which to sustain
