better or worse

 

better or worse

the optometrist's koan

your lenses

or your life

who can tell?

--

 the pounding on the takeoff 

sand blasted in the inside section dredge

bouncing like a truck 

down the back road

maybe the mat

has too much air

--

I would like to revisit the 60's

even the 70's would do...

not just for the guitars

the bands still together

the main players still alive

and not even for the real estate

and stock options

but the future seemed so bright then

now the future is more like a carton of milk 

gone so bad it comes out in chunks
