Warm up 8/15

Someone once told me of an adage among writers. "Once the pen touches paper, it's all fiction." 

Short Thoughts.

I feel like I am falling apart. 
Pursuing permanent change is a push and pull. 
Some days I am a man with super powers. 
Some days I am a foolish weakling. 
Right now I am in the later. 

********

I am going to die someday. 
I'm still not 100% sure I believe it. Like really believe it. 
I can see myself at 55. 
I'm thick like Tony Soprano. I have a bushy white goatee and think white hair. Longer than maybe I should have it. But who the fuck cares right?
My fingers are like sausages. 
I'm rich. I even have a decent amount of power. I've figured out how to live life. Mostly....
I still sit at bars with a shot glass of a brown liquid.
The sadness that has plagued me all my life still sits next to me.

  1. Really like the last 3 lines of each stanza.
    I'm sure that face will haunt me when I'm older too.
