brautigan series one

One the opposite page
from something profound
half lackluster words
can lose all their momentum.

...............

My too-tight skirt smelled
like Brunswick stew
and my life was in one
large, shattering piece.

...............

Pristine pages make turning the page hard.
A crips clean fresh life needs help breaking into the game from time to time.
We can't see it until it hits us behind,
but we keep running forward.

...............

It's never what any one given memory or experience "was"...
it's what it will continue to be and do throughout the course of our much longer lives.
