footnotes
im tryina finish another 20 page chapbook
this is the first part of 2 of what i got so far because its too long for 1
then sneak is thin
an inch is in
transition is trinsition
Riverside
1 The Watchtower
Embryos and fluids
More sez smoke than a Buddhist
Not such a bad idea have the nudists
Never has Alicia Silverstone looked so clueless
2 The Fall
A bright sun comes out with its heat
Then, a cool breeze
On Howe ave, nana's place
Frosted Flakes
They say that time's money but really I'm just tryina waste away
3 '08
Peers all smokin' weed
Talks about how fun it'd be
Just turnin' 16
Google then sneak
About the 10th session later, lit deemed
Gettin' hooked a bit seems
Somewhere to smoke, not too but
quietly
4 August
16 years old, shoutin' and screamin'
A head full of dreams dreamin'
The sun beamin'
Sweat off of skin steamin'
5 Open Letter
Enough mistakes made
Seemin' to relate fades
From the old ways, change
For what have may placed
6 Lost
There's the bridge, to the right
Just over a hill, a cold winter 3rd Ward night
It's dark but a bit lit
A snow storm with an inch
Not too many but just a few people on their way
Not too late
On such a lost path
All that's left behind's so sad
7 Hope
Nothin's permanent these days
Not countin' on much besides tryina get paid
Never's known whatll go which way
Love blind without feelin' betrayed
