One bad decision can put a friendship in a tailspin. But maybe that’s okay if it means you finally start really talking (texting). About the past… and about the future.

late night swimming

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night

The photograph on the dashboard taken years ago,
turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
Every street light reveals a picture in reverse
Still it’s so much clearer

I forgot my shirt at the water’s edge
The moon is low tonight

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
I’m not sure all these people understand
It’s not like years ago
The fear of getting caught
The recklessness in water
They cannot see me naked
These things they go away
Replaced by every day

Nightswimming,
remembering that night
September’s coming soon
I’m pining for the moon
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit around the fairest sun?
The bright tide forever drawn
Could not describe nightswimming

You, I thought I knew you
You, I cannot judge
You, I thought you knew me
This one laughing quietly
Underneath my breath
Nightswimming

The photograph reflects
Every street light a reminder
Nightswimming
Deserves a quiet night
Deserves a quiet night

Someone beat me to it.

“Got the morbs” should be a thing.

Victorian slang is AMAZING, and select phrases really need to make a comeback.

“Bitch the pot” – Pour the tea (HOW RELEVANT IS THIS!?)

“Bang up the elephant” – Absolutely perfect; super stylish

“Well, that’s shot the bale” – Something that has missed the mark entirely

“Church-bell” – A woman prone to gossip

“Chuckaboo” – A dear friend, a bosom chum

“Beer and skittles” – A great time (see also: Irish Gaelic “craic”)

“Butter on bacon” – Something overdone or too extravagant

“Cupid’s kettle drums” – Breasts, particularly large ones

“Gigglemug” – A cheerful smiling face
