I think we're reaching a pivotal point in this poem, though I'm not entirely sure which way to go next. Either I reflect on the past a little and explain how that is affecting the present, or I just push on and find an ending. Choices, choices....

I'm pleased you remembered the lobster boil, though less happy about what you're wishing on me for checking you don't have Alzheimer's yet :-p

Momentum
I am amazed and aghast that the ship can sail;
I am appalled and unsettled that the town I roamed
For three short years has sunk beneath these waves.
The momentum of the past hurls us both into the future.

Greg - what, no multiverse option? :P

And yes, I'm sure your intentions were ever so pure.

I can see what you mean about the poem after reading this entry. Could easily go either way, and I am equally certain that whichever you choose will be a treat to read.
