My day

popped a Valium,
grabbed a bottle of wine
and camped out on the couch to watch some television
because you can't
violate a probation violation
more so than getting sentenced to jail time in less than a month.

we all hear about the "now"
and how the past is irrelevant to the present,
but the past is all we have.

the clock never stops,
so I live in regret.

regret that red light that cost me a DWI,
regret not leaving my wallet in the car that cost my a felony,
regret not appreaciating the ones who had loved me in the past,
regret ending up in a mental hospital
and I will regret doing 20 days in the local jail.

but most of all;
I regret this instant
because it proves
I'll never get it back.
