Ephemeral Thoughts

Spilling coffee in my car
the radio kicks out a memory
"how's it gonna be when you don't know me"
a smile, well a smirk
graces my face
I try and think of the band
Third Eye Blind

we were in his car
a blue sable
we drove around Detroit
smoking joints
and laughing
the song came on
we just looked at each other

then two fingers went to his lips
his cheeks bubbled out
puke was then spewed all over the car
and his black corduroy pants
I laughed
he looked horrified
we pulled over

the song was ending
sponging up the ralph with an old tee shirt he looked at me
he said " you ever wonder how its gonna to be"
I smiled and shook my head no
thinking then he was my soul mate
no need to wonder
we would always know each other

coming back to reality and my spilled coffee
the memory ended with the song
"how's it gonna be when you don't know me"
to answer that honestly
it wasn't as hard as I thought
actually......
in the soft dive of oblivion
there's not much I miss








 







"the soft dive of oblivion" is a line from the third eye blind song hows it gonna be.....
