Toyed

Exhausted by the events in New York, I walked lifelessly through the Atlanta airport. I wanted to bring Breann with me but she was in New Jersey speaking with her mother. I wasn't sure I could be in the same room with my parents. They raised me to believe that hiding information was lying.

By the luggage carousel, a boy; maybe 4 years old, played with a toy robot that talked when you pressed it's chest. The toy wouldn't talk. "Mama, this robot is broken!" he yelled. I shook my head muttering to myself bitterly, "damn right it is."

Today's song is one of the better one hit wonders of the 1990s. I had a bad day today and this song just popped into my head. It fits here, especially the killer first line, "don't look now, things just got worse". This is Dog's Eye View's Everything Falls Apart...enjoy your pop rock, kids...
