This is an old story

with its old beginning,

as I lay me down to sleep.

But when I wake up, sunlight

has taken over the room.

You have already made the coffee

and the radio brings us music

from a confident age. In the paper

bad news is set in distant places.

Whatever was bound to happen

in my story did not happen.

But I know there are rules that cannot be broken.

• Go Somewhere You’ve Never Been
• Life Is Like Arriving Late For A Movie
• If You Get A Chance, Take It
• Our Life Is Frittered Away By Detail
• You Won’t Ever Get Over It
• When The Going Gets Weird, The Weird Turn Pro
• Turn Off, Tune Out, And Turn On Your Life.
