SHOUT!?  SCREAM!!? It's useless. There's only one way U can go? Get used to it; leastways; "get a GRIP"!?.. And be "shunted!"  - U will -  like an old locomotive (train?); old  pictures, photos, videos, letters, telex messages, business memoranda, E-mails, HD videos, "eratums" and foolish confessions - the "stuff" of  "All OUR YESTERDAYS" that come to VISIT (one last time?) for the ON-set of senility/dementia in - seemingly, REWIND/recurring installments - bound, BINDING - thats "motive-ordained"  is to haunt your life's Twilight into dusty death?
Doesn't matter how intelligent U are? Men/Women of Power? Peasants toiling the fields? Equality! Finality! Death's precursor!...In that "grasp-last" Utopia, its Clutches at your throat and thoughts? God's OWN "auto da fe", lute strings-bow and arrow, U punctured, and  SUCKED  UP into  that Incubus of  life's last extreme nature?
"SHANE! Shane! Come back, SHANE!" (A cry for....) If the poor bastard  ( Not You: Shane?) didn't get shot full of holes later in a wild west saloon or went "tutte-membrane" through bordello-whore-syhillis or comitted suicide in despair trying to complete a New York Times Crossword Puzzle using English (ENGLISH-English) spelling: Who could blame him?
As for REMEMBERING?.... Like Politicians: "I don't recall?" But TOO LATE. Nature Does! -Commensurate, from long ago: The Ghost of a youthful boulevard, La Strada! I CORSO; right there on the spot - un-concealable - down that inevitable conduit, that  Faithful Traitor: "Memory Lane"?
A PRETTY name for so - potentially a disdainful "street" filled with victory, dispair, hope, and guilt for One and All? Are future (and present?) generations doomed to this assignation where all plans, designs, roadmaps never ever fail to rendezvous? Whilst on the "other side", irreversable, irrecoverable, your own advanced legendary and damnable publicity is ground into obscurity? As is mine?

"Ride a wild horse to Banbury Cross:"Arrivederci" your Pussy! "Vaya con Dios" your Cock!?
(Who wrote that?...)

And down on "Memory Lane"?  Calendars are blown away. Gone: with  Scarlett O'Hara!! HISTORY!!! And Yours; your "own personal Jesus"? Reflecting? Remembering?  SO many things! A death in the family? Premature? A brother, lost in War? And SO many loves? So many songs?  Righteousness! Un-avoidable Wrongs?Theft? Generosity? ALTRUISM! The kernel of that presumptive fruit that - all the long? - whispered: "U belong?" ...Gone and lost, yet still, not quite forever? All accumalated. All safely stored; down there...on MEMORY LANE. "Penny Lane"? ....And a Penny for your thoughts.
