• where do we go from here?

  April 2, 2006

  Sometimes I'm not sure.  Sometimes I think the best is behind us.  For once the future doesn't seem like a prospect so much as a jail.  I have to make decisions and I'm not real sure I want to, I know I'm not very good at it.  I can't even finish a poem, here's a…
