Deeds Yet Undone

Been giving a think on all my deeds decidedly undone. 

I have never leapt off an Andean mountaintop. Never taken a walk on the ocean's floor. I have never discovered a vaccine against Death. Never built a better mousetrap. Never bred a fat-free strain of pig. I have  never run successfully for President on a platform of genocide. I have never owned a '56 Corvette or a neutron bomb. Never donated a kidney or other major organ to Bob Dylan. I have yet to mastermind a multi-million dollar coke deal from Bolivia to Fort Lauderdale. I have never dealt weapons of mass destruction to Eskimo's. I have neither prevented a war nor led Tatars on an invasion of Iceland. I wasn't Cher's first lover,  nor Lady Chatterley's. I had nothing to do with the foundation of Israel. I did not foresee aluminium. Have never bought a Teflon-coated dildo nor Lou Reed's mother's childhood home. I have never evolved into a telepath. I have never visited Baltimore. Never smoked three packs of cigarettes a day. Never made a documentary on the night-life of bees. I have never really seen what people call the "Man in the Moon." I have never noted the best-before date on the underside of a pyramid. I don't remember the colour of my ex-wife's eyes or the third Crusade. I have never dated a Catholic girl. Never had carnal knowledge of a greased polecat. Never mediated a standing dispute between empires. Never tasted any real difference between Pepsi and Coca-Cola. Never could afford an evening on cocaine. I have never had a school chum who became a millionaire. I have never owned a Freddy Fender record. I have never won a cent with any Lotto ticket. Never played chess against Big Blue. Have never attended any live sporting event. Never been at odds with myself. Have never seen "the" light. Never been up to my neck in the Pacific Ocean or crossed it in any manner. I have never failed a history test. I have never been in New York or "above it all." Never pushed an envelope or yanked anyone's chain. Never consulted a witch doctor or met any doctor who did more than practice. Never been any girl's boyfriend. Never been complimented on my looks. I have never dreamed of a prior life in France. Never handed a pencil to the Dalai Lama. Never comprehended the thinking behind a flat income tax. I have never become fluent in Russian. Never traded baseball cards with Samuel Coleridge. Never made a right-hand turn from the centre lane. Never caused a pandemic. I have never believed in the ghost story some call god. I will never live long enough to complete this list. 

So I do strive to filter out falsehoods sown among my sensory data and the resultant feedback-between-facing-mirrors autoconstructs. 

End of session.
