forsyth | I Shoulda Known Better

I set the keyboard across my knees. "What took you so long?" the buddha asked.

"I've been busy. With stuff, and other stuff. As if you didn't know."

"Ah," he said, "Of course. Must have slipped my mind."

"Y'know, if this is the extent of your cosmic wisdom, then I'm going to bed."

"I'm only as wise as you let me be. And you were a lot wiser a couple hours ago."

"I agree. A couple hours ago, I wasn't trying to wrangle a month's mess of time and things into a fortune cookie."

"You get bitchy when you're tired."

(I think I need to change the format of the links, or just not put them on any drabbley ones, 'cause it's longer than the post itself. Maybe just LJ-Cut it in the future.)
