Remember When
Remember wondering if the world would ever flash before your eyes? As a matter of fact, I do. Surprisingly, you too can start that spark—by igniting the sudden inferno of impulse.
“Can it possibly be, life’s getting a bit more in the way then we want?” asked Austin.
“That’s a funny thing to ask me,” said Kathy looking a bit puzzled.
Remember thinking…of course, this won’t take too long to watch?
Then wondering if your grip might weaken?
REMEMBER ENDING THE DRY SPELL…
Asking…dose this really work?
Hoping she might say…let’s try this pocket.
Being afraid to admit…we’ve waited long enough.
Apologizing for…your tummy rumbling.
In spite of hoping he might think it’s…the gift that keeps giving. Or the negative thought…here come the opposite attitude.
REMEMBER…INSTANT APHRODISIAC!
…putting the first bean in the jar? …or never getting it out?
Then finding…the other jar?
REMEMBER…Nope, guess again.
REMEMBER…BEING SUCCESSFUL EVERY TIME!
Asking…will you get me a glass of water.
Wondering…Don’t you like games?
When you asked…recognize this?
When you thought…Do I look like a sissy?
REMEMBER…AAAUGHH! Rug burn!
Then REMEMBERING…How do I explain this?
Notably…Can I copy your paper!
OR WANTING…TO KEEP THE LIGHT ON!!
As if life isn’t short enough.
Nevertheless, every relationships should always shoot for the occasional reboot. An otherwise rebirth of flying sparks and glowing cheeks. On the other hand, how about a simple memory like eating soup in front of the TV.
Or rather when sex was like a plastic explosive. Like you jumped in until your feet got completely numb. Then over a slice of pizza and glass of Pinot, you knew you were the ultimate power couple.
When you said, “MOMMY.”
And she said, “I’m not your mom…she looks nothing like me!”
“That never happened.”
“You’ve got two more outs.”
“It’s Saturday you know?”
“ROOM SERVICE!!”
When the earth shook. And then—it was 8 hours later. ALONG WITH MANY, that wasn’t fate…that’s weird!!
But today, difficult doesn’t begin to describe it. However hard each day is…our daily obligations seem bigger. Further more they aren’t going away.
But you can let the whole day stretch before you with unlimited possibilities. “If only for a day.” Consider postponing what you WANT to do for what you MUST do. Then ponder making a few sparks instead!
“I get to lie in bed, sip soup, and read books all day.” “CONSIDER THE ALTERNATIVE INSTEAD!”
“Well then, I’ll get the toast?”
WITH THIS IN MIND-SHATTER MY EARTH
