Morality0 Johnny Martin was my college roommate for three years. He once tried to tell me that he’d killed a man, and damn did I ever laugh. I mean shit, if a guy tries to tell you he’s blood-stained, and he’s smaller than your fourteen year old sister, and actually once got beat up by your fourteen year old sister, what are you gonna do but just crack a grin and let him talk? It was a joke, and I kept it running for a long time.Morality
“I’m goin to the store. You need cigarettes?” (Johnny, perhaps because he was so small, was always eager to lend a hand in any way possible) “No, I’m good. Don’t kill anyone on your way back.”
Sun Down in MichiganWhen she stares into the black nights She sees everything with her mind.Sun Down in Michigan
Sunsets picturesque
In the west coast twilight.
Pacific coastal waters In warm-milk tranquility With moonlight coming.
While in Michigan
Factories fill
The pyrotechnic void.
When I stare into black nights I miss those sunsets.

Travel Old ManTravel Old ManTravel Old Man
One of those old men on porches across the world sitting
Staring at flowers and woods and grass and passers-by Thinking it’s a pretty little world I’ve hauled through But having done nothing
Empty I’ll sit and those vacant eyes will
Fill with vision memories of what?
Of days and weeks on end wasted in the colossal
Hazy eyed binges of an extended irreverence Or nights spent alone and hollow-eyed wondering what happened
To the perfect little girl I never found
And the hollering running erring lovable children
I never raised never bore &nb
Just sending you a welcome note and a thanks for the awesome weekend. You rock. that's platonic love, alright.
