Such a heavy load, a little bean’s back. History’s sewn, at times she falls off track. She’s not coming back, she’s just arriving. He’s a quiet man, he observes them all. His story’s planned, the […]
Month: September 2017
Be By Now (9/2017)
Decisions, making tiny sense. Unfailing, fallen – both sides of the fence. Locked away, let it grow. The further we go, the less we’ll know. Sipping coffee. Present tense. Wonder where that memory went. We […]
Bed (Figure it Out in the Morning) (9/2017)
A crazy little kid standing out in the crowd. Head to toes, loud. Says he’s building his own days. One hazy little room a man way out in the crowd. In and out. Down. How […]
Unpacked Expectations (9/2017)
An old man leaving town down the side roads. On his back a bag with all life’s tags. He’s lost, but won. Unpacked expectations get left behind. He’s leaving town to find what he finds. […]
Buckle Up (9/2017)
Planned attack. Swabbing up all the slime. Remove the man who’s awake all night. Not our guy, put up a fight. I’ll be back, just a matter of time Uncross my wires like riding a […]
Something About Chicago (9/2017)
Loud drums and idols, an old garage. Now she’s strumming evergreens, while she’s living out her dreams. Swimming with her sister through letters. Serving, renting, self, she’s been. Now she’s living what she means. Something […]
So Easy (9/2017)
Blindly transparent. Swerving up and down. I write it all out, still no one knows me. On the wrong planet. Skewing the center. Put it all out there and still no one knows me It’s […]
Go and Go (9/2017)
Turn off the lights, it’s right. Turn off the lights and write. Turn off the lights tonight. Forgetting now, she’s right. Forgetting, now I write. Forgetting now tonight. Right when I got going. ‘Everything will […]
Silent Space (9/2017)
Where am I going? What do I do? It would all be easier if I could still ask you. What am I doing? You disappeared. These days I wish that you were still here. Silent […]
Huh (9/2017)
Listen to a bug by a handmade lake What is he saying? What does he mean? Coffee and a bug by a handmade lake. I’m always dreaming, Sometimes I’m me. What really matters? People pass […]
Nickelback Puts Something in Phoenix’s Mouth (9/2017)
Nickelback is one band that’s always intrigued me. Last night, after over fifteen years of love-hating them, I finally had the opportunity to catch a show. Ak-Chin Pavilion. Phoenix, AZ. A beautiful, warm and breezy […]
Road to Myself (9/2017)
Now I can speak. Now I can feel. Now I can see that this is all real. I want to sleep. I want to fly. I want to be more than just a guy. I’m […]
Let’s Get Lunch Tonight (8/2017)
You, with the face. Step right up. It’s not nothing anymore And money doesn’t talk to me. Rewind my eyes. I can see these sounds right now. In the corner on the floor. You think […]
Pull the Pin (8/2017)
You with the face. Ride the cyclone. Spin the wheel, you’re all alone. The comet three times, times two. You were so close, weren’t you? Come on in. Step right up. Welcome to my house. […]
