"Memory Lane" (poem of mine)

This poem can be found on pages 66-67 of "Seasons Come, People Grow: A Poetic Journey".

A midnight ride,
Into the darkness I go,
Life passing before my eyes,
No matter how fast or slow,

Each entity I envision,
Brings about numerous memories,
Regardless of how strong the correlation,
I feel something burn inside of me,

I drive slowly,
To take them all in,
Bu, pain overtakes me,
My foot pounces on the gas,

A knot builds in my stomach,
My pulse begins to race,
My mind momentarily stops functioning,
As I feel the aches and pains,

Please take them away,
Let them all go,
Erase them from my mind and conscience,
Toss them out the window,

Driving down memory lane,
Wanting it all to be a thing of the past,
The road never-ending,
Those attempting to escape will forever be lost.

At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
