Distance Forgives

space and time are kind
they mitigate our memories
sharp lines turn to pastel by fond erosion
send bummers to the back
bring bright moments to the front

You were too drunk or I was.
I was too vain or you were.
it was all about us, respectively

but space and time are kind
distance forgives and recollection
is flexible as mercy

true true...

I've been reminesing myself lately...the other thing is memory warps, it warps you into believing things...things that may not be anyone elses reality...but so does eros....god damn thing!

this is another in the series of beautiful etchings, l-rod.
if i may, it's very Ray Milland - elegant, kind, irresistable.

The invisible man was Claude Rains
Ray Milland was The Man with the X-ray Eyes
