All the coke bottles have been cashed in, the candy
wrappers swept away. Every year we're stepping or
more cracks, getting real blase. Yeah, we're getting
pretty old; we've almost killed another year.
Can you remember kindergarten? Can you
remember your third best friend when you were
ten?
Twenty years from now Iopened this book. I
looked at the pictures, didn't read any of the
words. Words always sound too young when you
read them afterwards. Twenty years from now I
didn't step on a single crack the whole day just
trying to remember my third best friend.
