Elegy
Location
That moment when the world stops and you are stilling spinning
You try to realize why everyone is not moving
Then you realize everyone is moving but you aren’t
That moment when you score the winning run
Then you break ankle in celebration
Unable to play in the playoffs teams looses first game
You go down on one knee to propose
She starts crying starts crying with happiness
Says “yeah know we can get married before my chemo treatment”
It was raining outside people with umbrellas
You forgot your umbrella but walk like you had one
When people just thought you were an idiot you smiled back
Bad day at the office and you didn’t get fired
No you got humiliated by the recent college grad
You walk home and cry knowing that your chance at promotion ended today
You watch your only son about to get married
They kiss and you have carrot cake with cream cheese
Waking up realizing it was all a dream and you are a house alone
