Past

” it’s the past…
it’s in the Bracken…
Did something happen?
i’m like a butterfly
in a case
and i’m a number
in a drawer…
but NO
i don’t remember…”
when i posted that post about the terrible “good-bye” to Sheridan
Trevis’ girlfriend from 10 years ago commented on it:
she had googled the net looking for him
and found him with me
a spider
a keeper of the past
i gave her his number
and passed on…
on the phone with my brother a few moments ago
he told me he went to his 10 year high school reunion a few weeks ago
and this girl named Courtney came up to him and asked him about me
(didn’t know his name: “Are you Nick’s brother?”)
— she wasn’t surprised at the life i’ve led
then she paused and said
“is he still hanging around with Sheridan and Trevis?”
-No, he said
“good, i didn’t think he would be: they were always so poisonous to him and he never saw it… i’m glad he finally did”
