i thought it was strange to see it like that-the scarlet hue of the thing.  it wasn't.  even grey, it would find a way of looking the way it did.  seven thousand tomorrows later and i have not lost an hour of sleep over it.  still, it helps for a man to look back and appreciate what he had, while he was having it.  i admit i am, and have been, a voyeur.  i also admit that i have been know to eat a whole box of Chips Ahoy in a sitting.  i try never to park illegally not because i am decent but because i am a coward.  i also blame other people for stealing my stamps.  but still, even back in my youth i tried to stand for something worth standing for.  i always liked the taste of green vegetables, and usually i have not driven a car to worry about parking.  on that scale, the thing looked just like they do in anatomy textbooks.  it was not curiously worn around the edges.  it had a black spot or two here and there, but as i mentioned, upon closer examination, most of that black was grey calling itself black so as not to be misrepresenting itself.  the thing had a lot of grey, it was mostly grey, i admit it.  Osiris, how am i doing here?
