My friend Julie has a Wii and a pool/spa. I decided today that she’s kinda like Ricky from Silver Spoons (you remember the show from the 80′s, don’t ya?). Or the Rickster. Which I guess makes me Derek Taylor (the character Jason Bateman played. the one Ricky always got in trouble with and also learned valuable childhood lessons alongside).
Meet Julie:
As I Grew Older
It was a long time ago.
I have almost forgotten my dream.
But it was there then,
In front of me,
Bright like a sun–
My dream.
And then the wall rose,
Rose slowly,
Slowly,
Between me and my dream. Rose until it touched the sky–
The wall.
Shadow.
I am black.
I lie down in the shadow.
No longer the light of my dream before me,
Above me.
Only the thick wall.
Only the shadow.
My hands!
My dark hands!
Break through the wall!
Find my dream!
Help me to shatter this darkness,
To smash this night,
To break this shadow
Into a thousand lights of sun,
Into a thousand whirling dreams
Of sun!
