Ninety Percent
Ninety percent of those I have loved are dead,
ninety percent of those I have disliked are dead also.
Ninety percent of my life has been spent
travelling to find new places.
Ninety percent of those places
I have left with no regret.
Ninety percent of my life I have wasted,
ninety percent of what’s left is now taking a nap.
A memory of anything real is ninety percent wrong.
A recollection of one thing is usually a ninety percent
reflection of something else.
I have learned that ninety percent of what I know
is ninety percent false.
I have more to tell I am ten percent sure
but ninety percent of you all don’t care anymore.
