Two hundred dustbins
It is the hottest day of the year
There are 200 dustbins to walk past
Every morning
On the way to sit down and work so I can
get paid
And one day live somewhere there is less
garbage
Crushed mint
Vaseline
Music of the gods
And a 14th moon is found
Out there where the lack of air is a gift
Where the closer to the sun you get
The further away from breathing you are
And you need one more line for balance
Space
Time
Absolute quiet
But that line never comes
So you grind teeth and swallow bourbon
And sit in the sun and bake
Trying to see past the burning light
Without actually
Ascending
I turn up the volume
Push up my sunglasses
Look up to try and find moon 14.

Bye bye CBI
A quick post to mourn the passing of a great blog - the Chrome Ball Incident has been logging a serious amount of real skateboard history for a long time now. It was bound to end, as all good thinigs do, but the site - not to mention the integrity with which the posts were written and handled overall - remains truly indispensable.Good work.

Lost cat
A sign on the tree outside
the house
- Lost cat -
Cute photo
Etc
I think we saw it
yesterday
I think, maybe
So I call to say ‘don’t
get your hopes up – but I think…’
Etc
Been there, done
that
So I call, let her
know what I saw and hang up
When I look at the
photo a second time
I see the picture
is of my face
I little greyer
A little fluffier
But it's me no doubt
about it
I check my pockets
Count ten fingers
and ten toes
And am pretty
certain that I am not lost
So I walk down the
path and in the front door
A moment later
there’s a knock
I turn and open it
and am greeted by a large woman
Holding a small
porcelain horse
you called she says
In a vague eastern European
accent
can
you give me more info she says
I couldn’t but
tried anyway
Been there
Done that
She thanked me and
left
I closed the door
and went to the bathroom
Washed my face and
checked the mirror for signs of cat
Nothing
And nothing much else
Really
I look down
Ten toes
I’m not lost
I’m right here
Right?
