Memories For Sale
Need them gone today
Big sale going on today
come rain, snow or shine
Getting rid of all my memories
that clutter up my mind
They’ll be no faded furniture
no clothes, or scuffed up shoes
But if you’re needing a good long cry
I’ve got just the thing for you
Memories for sale today
that’s all that I have left
no discarded albums
no discarded socks
just bags full of memories
stained with bittersweet teardrops
Make me an offer
and they’re yours for the taking
just need them gone today
to keep my heart from aching
Memories for sale today
tell all your neighbors and friends
once they’re finally sold and gone
my heart will start to mend

High Rise, Deep Impact
I have witnessed a death that I relive every time I step into an elevator. Although it no longer affects me as deeply—given that it's been 11 years since the incident—it remains a heart- rending memory from my first and last day as a paramedic. My initial call to the scene involved a man who seemed to have fallen down the elevator shaft of a high-rise building. Alternatively, it might have been that the elevator moved upwards while he was working on it. Different scenarios were being considered when I arrived.
