i’ve spent life in greedy gulps
pointlessly prevaricating
indulging myself in drunken
dreamy dullard days
and sweaty chemical safaris
and, despite neural damage
and garbled memories,
it gave me gifts i’d never trade
i explored all my dark rooms
pushed my mind to the edge
and shouted down into the void
sometimes, strange whispers
returned with knowledge that
become the layered sediments
of an entirely new me - clarity
i’m rich in worthless currency
the world has no time for
but here, in my jaded heart,
it holds its value beautifully
currency

l remember you telling me you did tattoos, l'm in Sturgis at the bike festival, and there's some dude that's doing tats that look like patches. They look like 3 dimensional fuck'n things!

He uses black ink to mimic treads and switching.

I’ve seen photos of that man. It’s wild. And takes a serious artist. How’s Sturgis man? Looks like all the right kind of chaos. 🤣
