11,169. THE THINGS I CAN'T REMEMBER

THE THINGS I 
CAN'T REMEMBER
I make up. Well, maybe Mark Twain
said that  -  sounds about right. When
I was an undergraduate in your foolish
school I took the chair reserved for you
and never got scolded nor told what to do.
-
All things were good like that. This wasn't
Iceland, mind you, but it felt pretty cold.
-
There was once a pretty girl who stayed
near the window : that was good, for the
light played her face in the most lovely
of ways. I said, 'I like to meet you, once
we get old.' My thinking was 'not now.'
-
All things were good like that. This wasn't
the Garden of Eden, but I felt pretty bold.
