Iron rich
thick on the tongue
slivers spear
my charge well hung
lock 'em out
lock 'em out
keep them fuckers down
beneath the stars
the dirt and tar
compose our hallowed ground
so dig in strong
and take your hits
for bloody spangled flags
today we fight the Other Side
and shoot their sons to rags

I found eight 3.2% PBRs tucked away in the gardening bench in the garage. In 2004, my mom bought them along with a bunch of coca-cola so she could mix them together and water our lawn with the resulting tonic (don't ask) and apparently these were left over. There were eight sodas in there too, but I don't want soda for breakfast, that's unhealthy.

WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS IN CONTEMPT:

Debt
Disease
and Despair

As conscious, modern inhabitants of Planet Earth, these are our enemies. We strive for funds, health, and happiness. We all have different ways of finding them, but that's not important.

Sun flakes spiral
between beaded blades
they soak in while I sit
puddles dry to salty suds
on the beach below the treeline
trunk cracks for black beatles
baby spider bug bites

All fantastic images
and fireworks ablaze
this modern skin
the suit I'm in
belies a muffled haze
the wrong man for the job is here

I had the most incredible feeling today. An airplane I was riding in took off, and my heart got pulled right out of my chest and through the floor. Jesus it was terrible and amazing and happy all at once.

I'm sad that so many of my friends choose to separate themselves from each other for arbitrary, even imaginary reasons. I've been simultaneous friends with those divided for most of my social life, but never before have I been so impacted by witnessing deliberate decisions to exclude people and separate friends. I would love to throw a party for ( Read more... )
