i memorized the snellen chart- just in case i get tested later

In the end it's just a wooden box carried by drunk and portly irishmen.      
Can't send home fugazzi when it comes to carrion wolf tickets.      
Get jealous of those ill equipped to be hateful.      
I wish I would have had hands instead of feet to hold onto something rather than always walk away.      
Maybe known more of a sidetracked prophet than a real good accident that happens upon those who deserve better.      
Daydreams of good days in the war.      
Nightmares about all that's transpired since.      
I almost can't recall and probably soon won't,      
when we were just kids in the neighborhood.      
Go down to the third light pole,cut left and I'll hit you there.      
Can't get it back.      
You can only remember so much.      
Time presses, you blink the dust out of your good eye and it's gone,      
but sometimes,      
some times are looking back at you      
and you get caught in a staring contest.
