8/24/13

I devoured my creativity in that vineyard on the side of the mountain.
Fed my appetite for insanity & reckless youth.
Gave my best impression of unlawful rebellion & stood on stage for the characters in the room.
Held court among kings.
Held my own & earned the love of my peers.
I earned the punches & puns & wrote it out in a memoir of pencil cartoons.
Burned it all to memory for later use.
Kept it close to my heart for a toast or reunion.
I left nothing on the table & gave all of myself for all of my friends,
so that when I'm gone...
...they can remember me as who I am & not as who I wish I could have been.
