past. future. now.

lately i have wanted to go back in time.

i would hitch hike to woodstock.

i would tell andy warhol we were soulmates.

i would cry on august 16, 1977. and stand outside the gates of graceland, candle in hand.

i'd go to a janis joplin concert.

i wouldn't wish to do anything drastic and change history.

just meet people who have influenced me.

just meet an inspiration.

lately i have wanted to go into the future.

i would tell my children i was just like them once.

i want to tell them i can't wait to meet them.

someday.

i want to see a classroom full of students.

all waiting for me to teach them.

i want to be sure i wake up to a nashville sun and fall asleep to a nashville moon.

everyday.

i would like to know that all i want is possible.

since i cannot have all of this, i suppose i will live for today.

go to lunch with my dad and thrifting with mom.

curl up on the couch with roxy.

maybe sneak in some time to re-read ryan adams' poetry book.

and play scrabble with my parents.

drink margs with my fire friend.

and maybe this is all i really need to make me happy.
