Big hat

Sentimentally i'll go along
In a big hat, smiling wide as all
Wait a minute tell me why are you so nice?
I can lie and say i've read 'em all
All the books & i’ve heard every song
Selling myself short twice

The lighting wasn't right
A computer screen strobing all night
How do you write a letter
When you don't want to write a letter

Time slips by
I'm 38 years old
I'm past my prime
I guess that’s fine
I'm 45. i'm tired.
I'm 56. i can't see.
I'm 71 and i'm dead.

Time slips by, i feel fine.

“time line for being alive.”
