new territory

i miss that place behind my house where i hiked and climbed and played
where i'd ditched this noisy century or just hide out from the decade.

There's nothing I hate more than the dude who keeps the stereo cranked long after the party has died down. I fought back and forth with this kid for like an hour, turning the music down, then he'd turn it back up. I mean c'mon, it's late. People just want to chill out and have a conversation. The time for a dance party has come and gone. While we had this battle of wills, some crackhead was clipping the lock on his bike, a mere 10 feet away.

When he realized his bike was gone, he no longer seemed concerned about the volume. I kept it down. This time it wasn't because I wanted to talk to anybody. I was only interested in quietly sipping my beer while listening to the beautiful music of his helpless complaining.

our dreams were like fugitive warlords
plotting triumphant returns to the city
keeping tec-nines tucked under the floorboards
