Bitter Pill In The Rhubarb Pie

Today is the Sundance late deadline
and I did not make it.
Another year w/ "AERODYNAMICS"--
2009 seems like a lifetime away.
And guess what? It is.

Was there anything I could have done differently?
New, higher paying job...gone back to accounting?
A fundraiser THIS year?
No "On The Lot" submission or "Water & Wood" music vid?
(both routing thousands)
No trips to Cally last fall or Montreal for New Years?
Lived even more modestly?
Hell yes to all.

I have always known I wasn't going to live long...
41 or 43 & that's it.
Fitzgerald made it via "The Crack-Up" to latter.
Sarah Jacobson didn't even make it to former.
What's my excuse?
What have I contributed?

The sad pathetic truth is I'm comfortable being uncomfortable,
I don't expect to win.
I spin the wheels & jump the hoops
but like Rocky III...I've lost the eye of the tiger, dear readers.
How else do you explain a 6 year + short film?
That's sad.
