No Bones.

Experience. Experience, they say, is what you get when you don’t get what you want. They say a lot. And usually, they have no idea what they are talking about. But sometimes, we take a blind shot and hit. And sometimes, we bet once and quit. And sometimes we gamble with the houses money. And sometimes we’ll take the sting, if we get to taste the honey. And give me a home where the cell phones all roam and they sky will stay cloudy for days. It has its advantages. It has its own voice. Sometimes it’s bitter like a cup of old tea and sometimes it’s smooth. Like freshly shaved legs, just south of paradise. But either way, I do love it. Quite the dancer, quite the flirt, quite the pants, and quite the skirt. And quite the comrade and quite the saint, and quite the villain, and quite the pain. I like it poured on ice in rocks glasses and straight up in dirty shot glasses. I like it in movies, and books, and Sunday school classes. (I like it in this new approach of wandering in and out of verse, as I find my infrequency of paper and pen is a blessing as well as a curse.) I like it spicy. I like it bland. I like it salty. I like it plain. But, oh, do I like it more than they. Oh, do I long for its recompense. This fickle love. Experience.

Maybe we'll laugh it, or cry it, or bleed it. But get to it. Now. Write your story down. The rest of us need it.
