no joy

there is no joy any longer
                everything,
 all just rote
all inconsequential
                motions to keep everything afloat
being sad is only evidence
                that there once was happiness

I love Rome but....

 I love Rome but, this probably sounds better than it actually was:  

Benoît-Joseph Labre (1748-83) having failed in his first ambition, to become a monk, he became for five years a perpetual pilgrim, before abandoning himself to the life of a derelict in Rome.

Destiny

 Uh, regarding the notion of 'Destiny'; I am pretty sure that if I wasn't doing what I'm doing, I'd be doing something else.

Time is funny

Time is funny...

It seems to drag. 

But before you know it and you’re sixty something and all that was evident of your childhood,  you watched Mother throw out in the garbage.
