Once an Item
We were once an item way back when
With an affinity for losers
And students of Zen
Remember
?
Well remember this too
Today’s rust was yesterdays chrome
Right now is for youth right down to the bone
Remember
?
There are those that nip and those that tuck
Those that finger and those that fuck
There are those that pause and those that jump
Those that linger and those that gloat
Take it easy on my memory though
Recollection sucks

The great things about memories are that they are stuff you did not stuff you didn't do.
A full and active life is going to give the reward of memories. Time takes away the pain of the bad bits fortunately.
If you waded in (and i bet you did) then you'll have memories. If you sat on the sidelines well, thats hardly memorable - unless its 1966 world cup final.... 'they think it's all over?' - NEVER
(see what Golfinch commented on my 'beautiful pastime' piece... he got you and me mixed up)
Inspiring writing and message.
thank you DA for your very reasoned response to my words, each one of them is appreciated, I can tell ya.....
Neville
Opps, I put it down to the vagaries of getting older Orchi. LOL
Some unique phrasing and more than good rhyming in this strong reminder Nev. - - Once an item though now rusted memory resurrects many moments to chew over again. Love the pathos in those two last lines ........ Fay
thank you for such a kind response to this laddish rant Fay ... and would you believe, I can't for the life of me remember what her lips felt like on mine.... Neville
Ha - - that's memory getting fainter the longer it's not useful methinks my friend - - lips on lips can fade into oblivion - - - yet sometimes the taste remains...............Fay
yes indeed, how very true & thank you again dear Fay..
I gotta remember stuff from about 1066 at least. I woz there!
just remember where you left those pills
thank you for gracing this page... Neville
Those memories both good and bad will be with you although they may be altered with time.
The line "Today’s rust was yesterdays chrome" was very telling.
thank you sir....
Well, now, I have a phrase in mind that is a favorite.....i'm so shy....do like the last two lines..."recollection sucks"...yes that can be quite the case!
Hey .. you are spoiling me this eve my friend but I sincerely and genuinely like it... so thank you ... N
Truly my pleasure....C
