stars . bullet wound scars
and the gateway before the obvious
religious symbolism
got you down on your knees
it's dirty it's beautiful it's prophetic
it's what pushes you back
your feet on the cold hard ledge
and i know you're going to regret it
when you jump
when you fall
can we close our eyes and pretend
it was all just empathetic
sympathetic
you're inconvincable
until you hit the rock
solid
wall
and all the sounds just drag me down
but i'm not going through with you
i've got more pressing matters to attend to.
can you take a seat and admire the view
and circle the state in your mind
a big black checkmark
stark and bold and
full of itself.
but the underline was meant to emphasize
and i'm not too worried now.
i'm not going to crash
and flash back to some time
when things actually made sense.
thank you for nothing
i couldn't have done myself
thank you kindly fondly
sarcastically.
and you can take it
however you prefer.
you can take it
however you like it
you can take it like a man like a man
you can take it crystal fucking clear
just take it somewhere far away from here.

But I did identify a few more good aurora shooting spots, whether I am able to use them in the next couple of weeks, or waiting till September.
Enjoy Canad-a-maine. Some day I'll be up that way, I hope.
