why can't I be forty-five? instead i'm only frustrated. and it's nobody's fault. this isn't easy. you don't sound like you when we're talking. is that how i sound back? am i really setting myself up for a setback? should i jettison "Then" and only see "Now"? the winter will be cold without you. we'll have to get re-acquainted. we'll have to set up rules. tell me everything. take everything that's told on the chin. wait. please pass the salt. i've forgotten my lines. it's still worth a try. fun that fun can't be common. there's something attractive in being different. never let go of the wheel. white knuckle waiting. snapping turtle hurdles. i am essentially at your command. except that i must do the steering.
Don't be a mouse, be a lion
