One drink to remember And then.. another ..to forget. My lazy-by-nature mind finds out old things in new ways. Living in disillusionment ,aspiring with diminishing hopes.the irony is that the identification of the mistake has taken place. The dreamer can feel the ground realities however is still going with the impulses..leading eventually to a dangerously complicated life. The face is blank...for want of a definate emotion. "I made a big decision a little while ago, I dont remember what it was,which probably goes to show, that many times a simple choice can prove to be essential. Eventhough it often might appear inconsequential. I must have been distracted when i left my home because left or right, i am sure i went(i wonder which it was) Anyway,i never veered: i walked in that direction.
