Random and Symbolic Un-Victories
In 2012, November, I bought a bic. It was at the stop and pee. The usual bic lighter. I needed a fire in the upstairs fireplace and had not a match in the house. It had a flag motif of Red White and Blue. I have had it ever since. This is unusual for me because I lose such things in the Hansel and Gretel trail of my belongings which I leave wherever I may be.
Sometime later I bought a red bic. This is because I knew I would lose the red white and blue one. I week ago a friend came over and left a blue bic. I was bic rich!
The Patriot lighter gave out but I was so proud I had it for more than a year keeping it in it's special place! I took up the blue one. That's when I discovered that Jerry didn't leave the blue lighter, he abandoned it knowing it was out of fuel. So it was on to the red one.
I seem to have lost the red one.
I am beginning to realize how much details with no significance have to people who are idle.
Maybe I will buy an adjustable Bic this time.
More of a collection of random thoughts from a man on the cross roads wanting to sell his soul but finding no takers. All this and more set to banjo and fiddle.
