lest i forget.....

what do best of pals do when tipsy with wine?

why, trade maudlin, unashamedly wistful epitaphs to each other, naturally! in this HIC instance, GOD ON EARTH was picked by us both. the oneness has ceased to surprise me.

`never again would birds' song be the same
and to do that to birds was why she came'
