Question: Do you remember things that didn't happen, for the sake of others!?
Carnal poison, anything
you want at the old ballgame, son
take a look around
sweep the crowd
listen to the ball bat crack
and sing with the strangers while
sticky fingers grip
the wrong stick!.

The neighbors have won the lottery
and they send over gifts
gloves bats dads
hope
two pillows for dreaming on
and if fangled was a word
you'd name this dream
after it and keep on
dreaming!.

I'm seeing a kid who is convinced he went to ball games with his dad, because his dad said he was a "good dad", but in reality his dad was a loser and the "stuff" the kid had came from generous neighbors!.

I remember things that almost happened!.I remember my parents stopping them from happening!.I remember the cops,the shouting,the moving away and starting yet another new school!.Most of all,I remember being confused about what would have happened and was it my fault!? That's when I learned to keep quiet about things that happened later,for the sake of my parents!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Here is my 2-cents:

Quite Touching without being sentimental or obvious!.

These lines stress a need for a Positive right Attitude by giving up our tendency to go on brooding over & harping on the games one lost!.while' the sticky fingers grip the wrong stick' or the chances one missed / one's misfortunes while others have a stroke of luck!.

There is quite a life full of fun & joy if one holds on to hope ( the right stick) & goes on dreaming ( dream is a synonym for hope)!. !.

We need to remember things that don't happen to us just now but have every chance to happen in future!!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes!. The mind games others impose on us and even those we impose on ourselves in order to cope and survive!. The lies we believe because we need them for our truths!. Life was not meant to be so!.
But it is a fangled dream, indeed, for us to believe it could be otherwise!.
