Riled Up and Wasted On Light

November 3, 2013

You remember that time

we sat on top of the whole world

and told each other jokes about the ocean

until everybody crumbled

into tattoos

of bakeries?

Smelled good.

Felt right.

Laughed

so much.

That night

was always lookin’ for a 4-leaf clover.

Nothing to do with luck.

Any revelation.

Any size.

If we thought it would help

we would tell it to you

like a drunk octopus

riled up and wasted on light

like this

like,

“Energy

can neither be created

nor destroyed.

That means we are all

exactly the same age

happening at exactly the same time.”

Well well welcome

to a room full of self-declared

“old souls”

in juvenile clothes.

Let’s blow the cake off our candles, y’all,

and the starving

off of the words

that are stuck to our throats.

Fresh home from touring with Ani DiFranco, Melissa Ferrick and Gregory Alan Isakov.

What a sweet sweet ride. To say the least.

Full steam ahead into making good things happen for

Riled Up and Wasted On Light – Buddy Wakefield’s 2014/15 World Tour (Skippng Chechnya).
