YOUth
Walking down abandoned train tracks in the forest outside of Allentown
The smell of Nag Champa and books in New Hope
Walking out of Whole Foods with Ale and Bread in Dallas
Paying overdue Blockbuster fees on Foster Avenue, Chicago
Dancing like you don’t care in Philadelphia
Getting so high that you can see the tiny city lights of Berlin on the ground
Rolling like a maniac at Houston noise fest
Country Music K hole in Tulsa
Falling on a skateboard ramp in Fort Worth
Fighting frat boys wearing togas in Austin Texas
Buying weed from bikers in southwest Indiana
Playing Tron at Rubber Gloves in Denton
Reading the Sandman a tent on the beach in Assateague
Baltimore Basement slam dance at a punk house spilling a 40
Shoveling snow in Bethlehem and not thinking of Jesus
Rock, puke, Boston
Babysitting in Budd Lake
High from the sun and asleep on Trinity College quad
Christmas eve, Dr Who, Stewart Lee and Wire in London
Techno Buddha and Larry Jordan in Charlotte
Vegan chicken fried steak in Portland Oregon
Falling in love for 15 minutes in Maine
Ruins, fires and pizza in Detroit
Tattoos and airplanes in Milwaukee
Not feeling low in Duluth
Staring into the void in Arizona
Speaking with the ancients in New Mexico
Civil War statue with a kick in the balls in Cleveland
Food coma in Pittsburgh
Asking why in Harrisburg
Fresh greens from old bearded Amish in Lancaster
Amsterdamaged, a Night Watch and Van Gogh
Empty bottle of Bourbon, a punk house and fighting Nazi’s in Louisville
Mexican Food, wigwams shaped like teepees Pakistani owned in Cave City
Cincinnati Reds reading Debs
Lost in Chinatown until the Two Bridges appear
Death in Elkins park and life in Wissahickon
Unknown in Morristown
