the here and now

if truth wasn't so painful then i wouldn't need fantasy
i wouldn't need books, computers, movies
but i do
and these are my painful truths
these are the things that hurt me
here, listed plain, without artifice

failure - as in one so in all...

01 friend
02 husband
03 father
04 entrepreneur
05 dj
06 son
07 lover
08 writer
09 historian
10 singer
11 driver
12 inventor
13 producer

in exchange for truth i got only lies

those books i checked out from the library
i will return them all
unread

i protest - how can i excel in all 13?

as i have counselled others - so i must counsel myself
give me your days, weeks, months
let's divide them up between all the things you
value most
