bye bye August

bye bye August Current mood: at work, enough said
I have an oversized desk calendar to the left of my computer at work. It doesn't serve much purpose on a daily basis other than providing cushion for a darker, smoother pen imprint on my legal documents, and the occasional splatter-guard for the mustard dripping out of my sandwich. But I love it all the same regardless of its purpose, simply because it helps me remember the date. Hell! If I ever lost my desk calendar I might quite possibly still think it were July 4th. (Boy that was a fun day wasn't it?) But no! I do know the date and I do know what must ultimatly happen when time ticks on too long. So, today I tore August from the glue binding and crumpled it into the smallest ball possible, sacrificing my soft fingers to papercuts - giant ones that take an entire month to heal - and I said a prayer and cried.donniebrascoatemyunclesfamousapplepieandthenpissedontheelectricfenceanddiedBye Bye August. You were good to me this year, but everything has to come to an end sooner or later. I tried to love you long time, but time wasn't on my side. Whenever we got into a fight, you would threaten me with cold days and rain, but I forgive you. I know you were jealous of June and July. I know I couldn't give you the same attention as I did them. But it wasn't my fault. It was a disease that I contracted from May, oh sweet May, and you had no right to treat me so cold! Not that it matters anymore. I just don't need you in my life. I can press on. I can press apple juice. I have many memories to share with September now. We have so much time before us, but... I will still miss you dearly. I miss you already. andhewasburiedinthechurchbythefatherwhowasdarninghissocksinthenightwhentheresnobodytherewhat does he care?
