a lot of people

a lot of people don’t care about a lot of things, and a lot of things don’t get done because a lot of people cannot be depended on.

a lot of money floats in and out of people’s hands to acquire a lot of things and to do a lot of things to the detriment of a lot of people who don’t usually have a lot of things going for them.

a lot of bombs and missiles are dreamed up by a lot of people who test these weapons on a lot of empty fields contaminated with a lot of holes filled with purple fluid that will never wash away.

a lot of us have been digging a lot of graves prematurely in empty lots where a lot of other people’s bones have been laid to rest in order to escape a lot of things that we don’t like about ourselves.

it’s a lot to behold.

but there’s still a lot of laughter to be had and a lot of forgiveness to bestow before last call, when we don’t have to go home, but we can’t stay here.

    a lot of people just popped a lot of brain cells reading this entry a lot of times, and coming up with a lot of different inferences. yet a lot of people think it is a lot of good and wouldn’t mind reading a lot of words like this again.

    That’s a lot of ALOPs. I feel like my brain’s been suddenly wrapped around a telephone pole wet then yanked off dry. It reverberates though with a clarity that’s unmistakable.

    LOL, Amy. What can I say?

    Thanks for the encouragement, Denise.

    Sume, you’re always a wonder.
