If my romantic life flashed before my eyes right before my hitting the pavement-
'Go bungee jumping,' they said.
'Fine, we'll go somewhere for you to get a sandwich right after the bungee jumping,' they said-
it would look like this:
An orange prom dress worn a year too late.
A helium balloon.
Peach yogurt on a doorstep.
A typewriter.
A Tim Horton's chicken salad sandwich.
A Polaroid camera.
(sex)
Red shoes and a history class.
Boots I didn't like and friends younger than me.
A massive lull (this doesn't describe a romance
but a massive lull).
An uncle's house in Canmore.
A dog that was alright.
Boots that I really didn't like.
Sudoku and weed pipes.
Caesar salads.
Caramel suns drizzled over plates I washed.
A plane and a too-big room.
A stuffed chicken breast.
A party I was going to skip.
Conical party hats with Triceratops on them.
Inappropriate postage.
A chaperoned date.
Pad Thai in the afternoon.
("Spidoodle!")
Then I'd hit the ground and head to Valhalla.
Where these women would feed me grapes for eternity, I suppose.
I think that The Stones are bullshit.
Or Mic Jagger.
I think that Mic Jagger is bullshit.
If you watch him do his peacock strut, you should be thinking to yourself:
Now there's a man who didn't deserve half of the sex that he got.
He did write 'Paint it Black,' though.
Which pardons his on-stage antics.
Very marginally.
