there goes the fear again

if i died today, i can't help but think that i'd look back with regret...

• i never learned to play the pedal steel guitar
• i never made, and kept, a new years resolution
• i have a stack of half-read books as tall as me
• i never made it to japan, new zealand, or russia
• i never even attempted to hike the entire appalachian trail
• i never mailed that letter i wrote to kurt vonnegut before he died
