#missed

There are a hundred things she has tried to chase away the things she won't remember and that she can't even let herself think about because that's when the birds scream and the worms crawl and somewhere in her mind it's always raining a slow and endless drizzle. You will hear that she has left the country, that there was a gift she wanted you to have, but it is lost before it reaches you. Late one night the telephone will sign, and a voice that might be hers will say something that you cannot interpret before the connection crackles and is broken. Several years later, from a taxi, you will see someone in a doorway who looks like her, but she will be gone by the time you persuade the driver to stop. You will never see her again. Whenever it rains you will think of her. ↗

Life has been good to me. It's not like I missed an awful lot. I had a pretty good lick here. Every moment gets a little more important. ↗

I sort of missed one big thing, to touch first base. I hope I didn't act foolish, but this is history. ↗

Here's the mark that a lot of people miss nowadays. Producers missed. They leave out the heart and soul. And that's what I learned from Sammy Davis, Jr., from Frank Sinatra, is when you went to go see those shows, you got to know them. ↗

There was no respect for youth when I was young, and now that I am old, there is no respect for age, I missed it coming and going. ↗
