The first instance of thunder before lightning

The most important moment in my life was sitting down breathing watching people walk their dogs outside and writing this poem * There’s a desire for understanding without understanding that we don’t understand ourselves and the others who listen understand less about us and sometimes about themselves and that makes us understand ourselves less and … Continue reading

Spaghetti with dirt meatballs

Fuck it all before it all fucks you by taking you to some place nice and high and important because you must be with an education that told you you could and a job that tells others they couldn’t and a family who you tell the coulds from the couldnts including you and what you’re … Continue reading
