permanency

Age, beauty, skin – I’ve been fighting to hold onto these things

Relationships

Think our current life is the end all, be all – listen to the stories and lives of older people.

Parents and Vietnam, mom and dad took busses from New York and Portland Oregon – current moment they seem so different.  Don’t allow kids to do thing

At some point they were in love, then they fell out.  Learn from your parent’s mistakes.  Frame yourself to be a more positive person as to not get jaded.

Kokko

Wanted to leave but I couldn’t, “cheap TRIcks” he said

Left and my cheeks burned

I listened to better understand

But it can never be enough

Existentially

To understand and be understood

Be oneself, let your guard down

Get caught off guard

Rejection lurks in small corners

Heart, pride, feather will always keep me coming

A human blessing and flaw, one I shall not fix

Imperfection

And you will call my bluff
