his kid
his utter vulnerability

Sweetie

Dear Sweetie,


You are one fucked up,
nut case,
drama queen,
hate machine.



Love,

Sweetest

Disappointments and Other Earthly Distractions

They wouldn't understand.
Everything has already
Without me.

What do you do with the closeness of fresh death?
The fresh death of closeness?

Revelations upon revelations

Unrequited love of mankind
We don't have it
We never did

Do I know what happens?
Nope. Never.

Well maybe a memory before death
Before love, when nothing was a memory yet

"These are my Kids."

[Taken aback. Laughs] "You've been busy. You've been really busy."

Transient Sex Offenders

Rolling into Los Angeles at dusk. Hotel dishes clinking in kitchen next to the room. People fucking in the parking lot selling their souls to the night. Feeling the electricity of Venice Beach with a friend on my arm and booze in my heart.

Rejection and defeat.

Fighting tension. Trying on something new and brave. Wholly connected to our disintegrating Baltimore family.

Late nights in the old style. Hoping beyond hope that we're building a future. Lying to ourselves and feeling braver with every lie.
