here is a story a story with a happy ending.

its not about the tv

its not about the room with light on

its not about having faith in myself

its not even about the isolation or incurring the wrath of a girl

its not about making myself a shell of a man rising from the ashes to succeed in this life to become guilt free.

its not about the lack of money or sex or friends or lack of spoken word

its not even about the words you are reading

its not about souls or life or death or fear or love or hurt or pain or suffering or joy, happiness freedom to do what i want or how i want

its not about anything

its about this, the feeling. i like the sweat, the heat. reminds me of paris in the early 1960s

not that i was there.

its not about the alcohol devoured or the food gargled or the cars driven.

its not about hmv, woolworths or tesco.

its not about ESM or AFS.

its not about him or her or any of them

its about that moment in the mid 14th century where that guy just nailed it. he said the exact right thing

not that i heard it.

but its true

its not about the lies

i told you

this story has a happy ending
