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
