Bane of the Valley
Walking in the rain
Just like everybody else
Titans of our own
Under still the taller shadows
Passing by in leather boots
Wax seals keep the water out
Same as stamps on envelopes
Inviting us to Anthem house
Certain minds but still happy
We splash in puddles on our way

Shade of Eyeliner
Monochrome makeup
Matching outfit
Like a shadow
You’re mine
But I
Follow you
Casting shade
Further
As the day
Wears on
Until the world
Is dim
And you consume
Me

I rushed for this one.
Satan: An Autobiography
Satan is a senior in high school
And he likes wearing blazers
That “compliment”
Knee-high platform boots
Thinks that the Sex Pistols
Made the realest music
And that anyone who listens
To rap is stupid
Satan’s dating a lesbian
Who’s keeping the relationship
Secret from all of
Her other friends
He knows a lot of people
Always makes a person laugh
But never was the type
To be invited out
You can find him in Olympia
Where he stalks the night
And eats in at unknown
Cafes downtown
He dwells in your...

Of
70 miles an hour
With no patience
For anticipation
My jeans were undone
And your hands were
Pushed past the
Seatbelt
70 miles an hour
And I’m getting
Light headed
For the best reason
And I feel your
Painted nails
On me
Mountain highways
A first for me
As your jeans are
Now undone, too
I get to feel you
And you get to feel me
Though it’s not ideal
It’s oh so exciting
As I keep my eyes
On the GPS
The brakes
And your body
Every corner of my
Eye filled with detail
So much that I am
Close to passi...

Shot with a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS; f/32; 1/200; ISO-400; 43mm. 10/21/2017 4:24 PM. San Bernardino, California.
One of the worst photos I’ve ever taken. Blemishes on the lens, flaring, and maybe some things in focus that shouldn’t be. Ah. Whatever. I like it.
And
I can’t quite get enough of you
And I love it
Never angsty like addiction
No, this is a craving for your friction
Unsure and risky
Like your first time on skates
Don’t know what might happen next
Any expectations I had are wrecked
I can’t get enough of you
And I love it
And I love it
When you’re riding shotgun
Like twelve-gauge fire shells
And I’m driving us
To who knows where, well
I know when I get there
I’ll be able to be with you
Be able to hold your hand
And I love it
Late at night throu...

The Grind – Journal 2/25/18
Whoa there, almost put a 17 at the end of that date instead of 18. That’s how my day’s gone. Every so often there comes one of those where nothing seems right and it seems like you’ve been asleep all day. Yeah, that’s been my day.
And I am self-aware enough to know that I bitch about it every time they happen and I feel useless because I’ve got this.
Incident report: the Monarch crashed today. I keep really underestimating its specs and today let it hit an errant tree branch. Thankfully only...

Icicles

So sharp. Never seen an icicle before my own eyes before.
