(Phil VassarTim Nichols)



I went back in time today a box I thought

I'd thrown away

Had fallen off the basement shelf,

I tripped and almost hurt myself

Scattered there across the floor

A New Year's Eve hat from '94

Ticket stubs to Billy Joel and pictures

From the Sugar Bowl

Some of these souvenirs I remember

Mostly I don't

It's funny how time reduces a keepsake

To a footnote



The wheres and the whens that meant

So much then

Have gracefully moved along

My memory had mercy on me and let me go on

Considering everything you meant I thought

I never would forget



Here's us dancing on your birthday

July 29th or 28th
