And Reminiscing
And Reminiscing
July 23, 2024
Many years have passed
Many memories have faded
A few remain
And with good reason
Olivia lives in my frontal lobes
Where my mechanics direct me to her needs
Day in and day out
And I supplied what she required
In retrospect, the arrangement
Was both consensual,
Mutual,
And beneficial
That is until I dropped the ball
That is until I dropped it again
Scarce remnants of trust broken
And scattered to the winds
Olivia departed this ebb
The tide did return
Sans her presence
And I regret all opportunities lost
Today is my 20th year in this state of stasis
I could have been wealthy in all means non financial
Instead, I constantly consider the possibilities
And slip off in an inevitable drunken stupor
