It’s weird to think that we weren't born this bitter or that not everybody loves a quitter. Collecting pats on the back and platitudes like dying amps and a bad attitude. "Chin up. You'll get 'em next time champ." It’s a state of mind I just don’t understand. I’ve got this lie and I think it sounds okay. Repeat myself cause there’s nothing better to say. And I've got that moment in mind when motion for motion’s sake sufficed. We were watching dollar store kites fall apart as they aimlessly took flight. We spend our time learning what we should avoid, then watch our plans as they transform into ploys. It seems we crashed before anyone saw. Staying grounded's easy when its gravity's law. Like singing songs when we don’t really know the words, playing along but somehow we don’t know the chords. We’ll call this one what we like, like maybe “lesson learned.” There’s a nice ring to that, no cause for concern.
