One More for the Road

Missing Possibilties:

Some people say I’m like nick drake
Bobby d. or the sesame street cookie fiend
But if there’s one true thing I can say about me
It’s that I’m none of these things
I’m god damn free

So pack up your comparisons
Put back your “remind me’s”
Leave off your longing
Forget about belonging
Ditch your heroes by the side of the road
And set yourself free

Forget about history
Write your own books
Live life slow and steady
Or fast and heady
Just set the pace yourself
And hold steady

Cause what you think is real today
Will tomorrow be a dream
let all god’s plans
Fall apart at the seams
Stop trying to be
And just be
Stop trying to flee
Stop trying to see
And Stop letting yourself fall asleep

Just play life by ear
hold on to what you feel’s dear
and never give in to fear
cause we’re all really just one in the same
tossing in a cosmic sea
ever changing and waiting to be changed
so just open all your mind’s eyes wide
and take a big bite from that pie in the sky
that’s always been your birth right
drink deep from every stream you happen to find
and if this seems like a tasty philosophy
then meet me in the kitchen
and we can brew our own batch of personal anarchy

Yeah man, Flash fiction is just short stories that are under 1000 words. it's really fun.

btw, this stuff on your blog is really good. I'm stoked for the split chapbook.

Thanks man, I'm pretty pumped too. We should try and start putting stuff together sometime over winter break.
