The last time i listened to someone speak....for longer than 6 minutes, with out tuning out, i think i was twelve....I think it might have been my hockey coach...
my memory is so shit these days....from all the tuning out.
i sang a song to a lady at a bar... she knew every word...before i said it...she knew what i was going to say...before it was said....this was not a popular song...i think she was an angel...or the closest thing that this world has to offer.
a few nights...a few days....some hours. I think about this world with out me taking up the space
i do...the space is not much, but it still takes up, i create waste. I ask for none of it...i picture it, it still turns...the papers still get delivered, the clocks punched....the over paid coffees....drunk.
my aunt once told me when i was small...'you always make people laugh'
i listened to a man laugh to himself on the street car for till i could not listen any more...no one was with in 20 feet of him. He laughed and laughed and laughed....i had nothing to do with that.....i believe even as a kid...it was kind of the same....
