i've spent a lot of my life on the fringe of society.

free time spent chasing dreams that may or may not come true.
regretting nothing, because all choices and pursuits have led me to this simple life.

spring running, an ode



ipad
itouch
ipod
icannotescape
the doorknob:
only threshold iknow

the trail calls my name
i willingly accept
ignite my flame
with uncounted steps

"the real world: just
bills, money, and counting cash"
instead, i must
get thrills running through mountain ash

push past pines
each step a revival
pricked by thorny vines
my drug is survival

stop on the ridge
breathe in, breathe out
never give an inch
that's not what i'm about

overcast gives way
to a sunrise at five
i am moving
because i'm alive
