what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

slept past my stop
forgot to get a transfer
front and center at the foot of the altar
cathedral          stained glass sunbeam
illuminating our lady of what might have been
pinching rosary beads for what will never be
praying patron saint of potential unfulfilled   
racking up credits
on a pinball machine in a dream
feeding the feedback loop
shouldacoulda monster under the bed  
waiting                                 hibernating
another late night visit from the regret fairy
pillow sprinkled with magic indecision dust
                                    hocus    pocus
can’t say no
afraid to say yes
the fence makes the grass look greener
hard deadlines all in my mind
arbitrary expiration date
best if used by September 1997
commitment contract concession
giving up unlimited nights and weekends
offering anytime minutes anytime
replay the relationship conversation
you   
me    
us   
we
never said
it goes without saying

still feeding the feedback loop sometimes two years later

with inflation a Busch in hand now really is worth two birds
