unsettled
i showed up on a bus by myself
when the doors slid open a better version of myself emerged
i breathed in the air of montana
exhaled the stale air of l.a. sprawl
mountains i discovered, mostly from afar
southern comfort
i discovered on a more intimate level
drinking and smoking and making out with hippieish boys
and older reprobates
i was living a willie nelson song except whiskey makes me sick
the summer was so long and so quick
everything happened in seconds and eons
i wanted to hold every experience close, examine each one for revelations
while trying to escape what i learned
when the doors slid open a better version of myself emerged
i breathed in the air of montana
exhaled the stale air of l.a. sprawl
mountains i discovered, mostly from afar
southern comfort
i discovered on a more intimate level
drinking and smoking and making out with hippieish boys
and older reprobates
i was living a willie nelson song except whiskey makes me sick
the summer was so long and so quick
everything happened in seconds and eons
i wanted to hold every experience close, examine each one for revelations
while trying to escape what i learned
