Blue Deer

I had a conversation with a burning log once.
I asked him what he wanted out of life
or if he knew not what then why
he existed.

He told me that what I wanted to do
with my life
was my choice if there was
one to make.
the log was content to sit there and burn
no thought or choice or
consequence, that was
simply what it did.

He existed solely in my mind
and this whole purpose
was to help me make up my mind
that whatever I do,
choice or not, is Okay.
or not.

Fat lot of help he was.
I remember the stars were beautiful that night. I watched a spider build a web from scratch.

I Met a Girl...

Hey! Thanks for the add! So here goes:
I was hoping to talk to you soon enough to invite you to my yearly office party tomorrow but it was yesterday. Sheesh. So that means I haven't had a chance to do laundry, I missed my weekly trip to the range, and I have neither fully unpacked nor re-packed any of my camping or bugout gear. Fun.
Today I was at Schnucks re-supplying when I found a Miller Lite in the floorboard of my car. "What the hell is this?" I asked myself out loud as I found another. I shrugged it off and threw it up into the passenger floorboard when I remembered that you had them in your purse when we went to Burger King. Then one of them exploded in my car. As I let fly with a fine barrage of curses ranging from Fuck Miller to this never would have happened if it was a Damn Budweiser I notices several horrified looking West County locals. So it wasn't all bad.
There's a silver lining to all this though. Besides meeting you, I mean. My buddy Louise is getting married on Saturday, and I just found out. I'd like to take you, it should be a good time. Want to go?


P.S. I don't have your number... :(

Wish me luck!
Cheers,
The Captain
