The Welcome End
March 23, 2015
SONOMA, BEND, PORTLAND, SEATTLE, MISSOURI, COLORADO…
Sixteen months of wide open wild-eyed wander wonder and the gift of a passing landscape. Sharp cheddar and chocolate. I can see the end of this guardrail arriving in tunnels and waves. The trail behind smacks of smoked salt Iceland and South African laughter, breaths of Belgian Vipassana, Leicester hot cocoa, European Christmas markets, hard Canadian lesson plans, 25,000 miles of U.S. peanut butter and the tires of a Steel Horse; sailing and Sydney, Australia; chandelier swinging in Stockholm, hot damn Amsterdam, the warm winter blanket of Nijmegen; Mom’s house when she sings only The Highwaymen’s version of “Take It To The Limit” late at night and gets lost in it; the open approaching arms of Austin, which may or may not be deodorized; bring them no less. Boulder, I am coming to rest on your sweetest namesake when it’s over. I will have the soup, nothing heavy, and a fresh salad, plenty of color. I will take them at my writing desk when I get back from the trail ride, from the sun run, from stretching in the smell of a clean gym. From all of us here at Riled Up and Wasted On Light, thank you. Here’s the last of it for now:

No mysteries here mister
February 25, 2015
Miracles? Really?
How ‘bout reoccurring moments
that highlight how much
we have not been paying attention.

February 18, 2015
Nothin’ but jam-packed thanks front to back
for the Flavorpill crew in NYC last night
coming through once again with
one of the warmest shows of the tour.
We’d like to apologize to you,
delivery man in the back corner,
for making you pile in
and the predictable enthusiasm about your pizza.
Who can blame?
