I promised myself, when starting up this blog thingy, that I would eventually post some of the poems and lyrics I’ve written over the years. What follows are some lyrics for a song called “Wednesday” that my buddies and I were fortunate enough to record in 1994. The album went triple teflon and the rest is history. Anyway, I’m going to post these lyrics because I am too bummed out to work on anything original. This is because in one of my roto-hockey leagues, I concluded a blockbuster trade the other day to bolster a blueline badly in need of upgrade; it took a week but as of this morning I was the proud owner of Maple Leaf defenceman Bryan McCabe. I had to give up a decent forward – Marian Hossa – and on a straight up basis, it’s a loser trade for me, but you have to keep in mind that I was having trouble getting Hossa into my starting lineup because I am overloaded with forwards and my plus\/minus is terrible, which makes me a little shy about putting guys from terrible teams into the mix in the first place. <\/p>\n

Anyway, I fairly beamed as I watched Hockey Night in Canada tonight, eagerly following Bryan’s progress around the ice, crossing my fingers in hopes of seeing his first goal for my charges. <\/p>\n

He broke his arm in the second period and will be out 6 to 8 weeks. So it goes.<\/p>\n

wednesday<\/strong>
\nwednesday
\ni was a bad idea
\na paradox in the mind of god
\ninconsistent as the clear blue sky
\ninconsistent, knowing why<\/p>\n

a human thought
\nis always flawed
\na disproved subjectivity
\nbut some ideas are much weaker than others
\nand some ideas belong to sky<\/p>\n

i believe
\nforever has no urgency
\nhorizons tell you lies
\nremembering the simple days
\nwill maybe get you by<\/p>\n

overwrought
\nand past my peak
\ni’d lost all patience with my mystique
\nyou need to believe that the riddle unfolding
\nwill somehow make some sense<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
