"nothing gets you high like it used to"

i remember that conversation like it
just happened
sitting outside the king soopers with casey
at one of those rickety steel tables

there were ways i hadn't gotten
high yet, back then, but
the observation itself
has held up well all these
sixteen years, give or take

better than a lot of
what i once thought i knew

(better for that matter
than the knowing of a lot
i once really did)
