I don't remember anything about this day. I do, however, remember writing this:

9.12.2002

Come.
Help me mend a broken universe
I want you to help in this
so that you will see...
Come.
Take my hand.
I'll show you everything...
It's hard to believe
how anger feeds anger
in a place like this...
Come.
Let me show you what you've become
if only I could cure your blindness
and this disease that plagues you...
Come.
If I could give you one thing,
I would uncover every hidden truth
and expound your every lie
I would open your eyes to the past..

...so you'll remember that you were alive once...


Happy Birthday, Charles.
