I just called to say, "can you send me some money?"

I, ugh, tend to rhyme a lot sometimes. Ha. This one is about my many on the road adventures, and how much I miss them.

lost old bag of bones, i am
silly stringed on the sidewalk.
fulfilling my full potential,
i ruin things by being an intellectual.
a-e-i owe you twenty bucks.
for so long you've been asking
me like, please.
my muscles and joints feel like
they could seize. fuck.
there was a moment and i really
grabbed for something there and
everyone thought wow, go man,
and then i remembered the fun i had.
i jostled around inside of a
crackling moment, rad.
did you do that?
reminding me of the responsible
weight of everyday stuff,
speaching,
rather i'd be in the water
with my shoes wet,
beaching.
drinking, and thinking, and rhyming,
not timing.
not your thing,
but it's something. good like fuck
or bad like luck, it's a some thing.
really, you know,
it's the real thing. funny like
laughing gas, tasty like a beer
in glass, it's everything.
sober pillar, voice of reason,
you called me and said stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
why, how come,
whassa matter pop?
the water is warm and the girls they
like me when i'm a drunken beach boy of
the world. nobody cares how many
failures unfurl. they know.
i know that they know, and they go
woah, i like your singing voice.
clearly, this is the right choice.

Just wanted to bump this, maybe get it a little attention.

 

Reading this just reminds me of how much the road calls out to me. haha

I really like the quick pace and fast beat. Really grabs your attention and keeps you going. Flowing along with it.

"nobody cares how many
failures unfurl. "
Love that line especially

 

Thank you, TD!! I'm glad you get the same feeling from it that caused me to write it in the first place.

I miss the open road, and travelling and hitch-hiking about. This was written as a posthumous tribute to an adventure I had in British Columbia, one summer.

My favourite lines are:

"did you do that?
reminding me of the responsible
weight of everyday stuff,
speaching,
rather i'd be in the water
with my shoes wet,
beaching."

And

"Funny like laughing gas,
tasty like a beer in glass."

Haha.

 

"i know that they know, and they go
woah, i like your singing voice.
clearly, this is the right choice."

really got to me as well.

Ah I really want to get out and hitch around the states after I turn 18 (which runs in my blood since my dad was a total tramp) I just can't find anyone to go with me. Really don't want to go alone.

 

Travelling is the best, man! You're lucky too, because the states has so much diversity. Canada does too, and some really amazing and beautiful places, but there is definitely more ground to cover in the U.S. You gotta get out, mama! The open road is a blast.

Again, thanks for liking and commenting on this.
