I am the old days,
I'm the " when we used to say"s,
I am the camera on your shoulder,
playing back the best days you no longer recognize.
I am the nightmares,
I am the "you're going to die here"s,
I am the last of the worst of the best who ever lived.

I've got a great idea
but I've got a good mind to just make it all up.
What's the difference?
It's not as if a turn of phrase
can put an end to the consequential,
so what's the difference?
You think you're fire-proof,
but I when I was you,
and now my signature won't match these great intentions
that I can't quite catch.
Another effort,
a shadow of its predecessor,
another out of work actor who wants to be his own director.

Let's not forget
our etiquette.
