Empty Classroom by The Trident
Of all the lessons
I missed at school by sitting
in the back of the classroom
and staring out of the window,
I wish now that I had paid
more attention in physics class
and chemistry; because after
all these years of love affairs
and short-lived relationships,
it appears that when it comes
to matters of the heart,
it is rocket science after all.
-Bison Jack
Her Two Cents
staring out of the window
of love affairs and short-lived relationships
I wish now that I had paid more attention
to matters of the heart
“Not if, but when, you crash and burn
Somehow you survive
But you’ve touched the hem of heaven
For a time you felt alive”
Excerpted from “Rocket Science” by Lori McKenna. A lovely tune from her album, “Lorraine.”
