The Ones We All Have

The many "I'll get around to it",
became "its,"
and finally went full circle,

the ones we all have,

I got that roll of film developed,
having no idea what or when is even on it,
if they'll even turn out,
or who will turn up.

Sad how we'll get around to feeling so guilty,
when we see ourselves so happy,
when we're next to those on old film,

the ones we all have.

I've thrown away all the wrong return addresses,
those that I now have a stack of postcards,
with no where to send them,
ones I never thought I'd really want to reach,

the ones we all have.

Having all those,
that somehow got away from us,
lost in the shuffle,
who became clutter,

Who became chemical reactions,
that gave up waiting to react,
I'm in line at a Snyder drug's 1-hour photo,
to see which faces turn up in the clutter,

the ones we all had.

Alright, so I'm a little pissed that you've "returned" and I've been missing out on the beauty!

when we see ourselves so happy,
when we're next to those on old film,

ugh!  How do you read my soul?  !

Yeah, I'm not sure if I've "returned" yet or not. but I like the anonyminity (sp?) of Joe User over myspace. All of my students read my myspace blogs so I get can't as personal in them. So when I desire more freedom I'll travel over here.

Thanks for reading

In hopes that you'll desire freedom often.
