introspective periscope : peeking inside since Y2K ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- glittering christmas tree and the dancing gingerbread man fourteen days and counting - eleventh of december, 2002 "i've determined its a sure cure for cancer watching the excitement turn family dogs into dancers" we got the tree. and its gorgeous and trimmed in gold and glass and crystal. just like when i was little...only to a lesser extent. but they found all of those ornaments that were somehow missed and the crystal icicles hang sort of like tears because...well, because i was sure they were gone. and the silver bells...oh, the silver bells. its funny how i remember each ornament we put on...even though its been years since i've seen any of them. time leaves things alone, sometimes. and its funny how now, i don't dance with the same gusto, no matter how happenin' the bluegrass. and its funny how, now, when its with someone else, apparently, you can dance. and i like that about you. and at the same time, it hurts just a little...because you always said that you don't dance. then again, time changes everything. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .what came before. - .what happened next. a diamond at the bottom of the drain - 20 october 2017 |
