Ache
I laid on the floor
and watched over an hour
of old band footage
that my friend uploaded
to the cloud before
the DVDs degraded.
I recognized the person
in the video, could even
imitate him if we played
a reunion show, but
it’s not me, hasn’t been
for quite a while.
When I finally stood up,
my whole body ached.

Well done!
Thanks!
I like the way you wrote about revisiting old memories as a kind of double-edged sword. Also, I would love to see a reunion show😂
We were very loud lol
I can imagine 😂
I really like how you write about watching the ghosts of self past—and the punctuation of aches lightens it up just enough. Really nice! Thank you.
It was an odd feeling. I’m glad you liked it.
time-travel pain..
I like this one, but sometimes those selves come back. 🙂
