Savior (Inspired by a more brilliant writer than I named Ryan Mayes, who is a total genious in my book.)

I started out my professional career as a social worker in Waxahachie. The work was interesting enough. The benefit of knowing that what I did made a difference in the world, was something I wanted to live for, for the rest of my life. Ever since I was a teenager I knew I could never… Continue reading Savior (Inspired by a more brilliant writer than I named Ryan Mayes, who is a total genious in my book.)

No Place Like Home

Benny and Sandies sat beneath the rusted back porch awning of Carl’s shoe store, watching cars roll by on the road. It was early October in Texas and the city had become excited by the decrease in temperature. “I don’t like doing this anymore Benny. Everyone looks at us like they know our life in… Continue reading No Place Like Home

It was 1:30 AM on a Friday. I had been up for four days straight with no sleep. Since Monday I had finished a twenty-page paper over the worst book in the world, for my literary criticism class, a ten-page paper for a theory class I was taking, helped my roommate… Continue reading The Pumpkin Muse

That Which Keeps Us Moving

February 10, 2018 zoninotheramblerLeave a comment

I walk each day through waves of sand. With others every day. We bring the oceans to the land, And wait for yesterday. For forty days and forty years We travel. Play each word by ear. And maybe stick with some strange part To ancient voices in our heart. We voyage like the Vikings did… Continue reading That Which Keeps Us Moving

Cupid

When I think of Cupid I see a corpse in the trunk Of a low ridding Cadilac. I see precious moments cartoons, And other cliches That seem as artificial as a laugh In a business meeting. When I think of Cupid- I picture a circling pack of black dogs, Pacing in-between themselves, waiting for the fight to… Continue reading Cupid

You Got Me Down: I haven’t had too much to drink the last couple days. You got me down. I’ve been trying to spin away from it all. Playing cheesy computer games, and listening to Lucinda Williams till 6:00 in the morning, wondering if my car is getting towed. Sick like heroin, with you. I rest… Continue reading You got me down (An Anthem of Absence)

Disorganize Me

February 10, 2018February 11, 2020 zoninotheramblerLeave a comment

There are cigarettes in bottles that are scattered through the house. From all the time we’ve spent alone or bored staring at the couch. And the smoke perfume of solitude, swirls, circles like a ghost. It whispers things like go to bed, or figure out the rules. And you find yourself in hallways leading… Continue reading Disorganize Me

It has been a long year in Arkansas at college. Now that I am finally home for a while, my best friend Jacob and I decide to catch up. I am worried that things might be strange at first. I feel alien and foreign, like the conversation might be awkward. Both of us pretending that… Continue reading Nelsons Pond
