-ANOTHER TIME-

-Another Time-
5/31/09

Talking for hours into the morning, reveling in life's victories
Watching the world wake up
Evergreens and Mount Tom
Nights that never seemed to end

Tossing and turning in a grocery carriage at 3Am on your 22nd birthday
Watch out for that bump!
The years passed like sun showers
Fearing St. bashes, exploding beer bottles
Empty wallet Sunday mornings

Can't remember your name or where you came from
Club Sidewalk adrift in a sea of hazy faces
Couldn't wait to graduate yet I didn't want to leave so soon
The West is always calling me back

Riots! World Series Champs! Riots! Where's Smiling Mike?
Breaking into Frats with JimButta. Who are you? What's the password?
The sagacious Dillinger could see through all of them that night at Delanos
Stew Money, towers of power, "to a good semester!"

Ash-tray kisses, broken cellphone, missed class
Roughing it each day
Strumming an old guitar in an empty lounge into the wee-hours of the morning
Adventure after misadventure

Back at the Zoo
Spent my time there with you
We lived it up
And here we are
