Stretching out these fingers, time is wasting and I’m tired of walking

Last February, sitting at the front counter of True Art, perusing the paper, killing the day, I notice a small advert on the bottom right hand column of the very back page where all are sketchy. It de...

There’s a sheet of paper in my pocket with a song I wrote for you. It’s crumpled and torn.

Careless <- Without Cares -> Carefree: I Don't Care

The micro-burst brought trees down in the roads, on to houses, and covering lawns. US Airways flight 291 from Las Vegas brought me down from the turbulent skies to the arid asphalt of EWR. I ran into ...

Stop using words as a disguise <-> disgust is a world unfelt STOP

The list of things I'm running from is longer than the list of things I'm looking forward to. I live a life of constant enjoyment - hedonism defined - and just push all my troubles to the back burner,...

A blue lamp sits unlit; my heart stirs quietly in anticipation

My life is off track. I am bouncing down a hill, trapped inside the crushed and careening vehicle. Every so often I come to a rock slide blocking my path, a bridge washed out by sudden bursts of rai...

Paving Stones In My Backpack: Carrying the Road We Walk
