On the campus district Up the street from the theater district Down the road from University Circle

Almost could not see her Each time she would pass I seemed to look away There are somethings that never change in life Attraction awareness words like these They did not have what I usually had drank the last weeks I don't usually drink anymore I didn't really decide but I had a friend She stopped drinking for what seemed to be no reason I joined her and found I did not miss The drinking I have loved is about the company I have now had the experience of not being drunk in a crowd of drunks The image of myself in all those crowds came to me Not regrets that i want to settle Whatever is novel A book of remembering includes I was not there to drink They did not have what I usually have I was there to see her You have to have a reason not to drink You do not have to have a reason not to drink There are good reasons to drinkI did not know what I was doing There are good reasons not to drink People think they know the reasons people do not drink A pressure you will find nowhere else ...

What we could have done is so much more than what we did.  The world had seemed to be going in a direction.  People were proclaiming the end of history.  In New York something is true as long as you can sustain it.  Wolves have tailored sheep's clothes. The end of the cold war is the first thing you want to know about us.  We had seen brinkmanship,  Chicken is not a game anyone with sense will play, but at some point the destructive capacity of people became greater than our planet.  In 1980 we started to believe in miracles that didn't matter.  There were two camps and ours was better financed. Kennedy imagined the UN flag on the moon.  That was one of the very first facts I researched.  It has never fit the narrative of my life.  We needed to win.   Strength of presence has beaten strength of idea here since.   We walked on the moon alone in 1969.  We amended the law to finally include clean water.  S...

I took a good look at her Memorized the red I could believe what I was seeing She could cheer for you What her friend told me I was not looking for victory

I have always been of two minds Playhouse and public square all theater Up the road is where curiosity goes Building on strong foundations Not remembering our intentions Even those engraved colossal We were searching for more answers Now afraid of own questions The physics is simple Down the road the strength of presence is all that matters An ecosystem true energy no one is creating With limits and geography Imagine all the cereal Aisles in all the Walmarts 10,000 strong Difficult to comprehend how long would it take to walk all those aisles You would come to and end and wonder where you had been I feel equally at home anywhere along my road I can quite imagine the titans planning their day I pass the fine arts building and marvel the opulence I have been well educated I have done my own research Up the road reality is objective What I find most comforting Ideas battle in motion In times bad ones win many battles What I found when I looked for myself No one ever tells you what they fo...

Has anybody ever made you drink? No one can make you drink I make a choice I seldom make Odd the pace of this World Series are contested near by Often the weather forecast overstated Which model did they follow? Neither seem close today The home teams wins They do not have a bike lane The tourists can not pronounce the name of the street I imagined I have a rear view mirror I remember the choices I make I do not drink much Each sip a reason Insane the pace Then waiting Each year another What is attractive the oddness From so many walks of life collided She had work to do and I had nothing better to do
