Still Ready for the Round Up

We ride trucks.

We spit on the ground.

We wear old black Levis.

We drink coffee black.

We break our own hearts.

We smoke what there is.

We don’t want any mail.

We go where we are.

We live when we want.

What happens here on Red's Wrap is all over the map. There is no single theme, no overarching gripe, no malady of my own or others that dominates. I write about what seems important or interesting at the moment and what aims me toward hope. I write stories, essays, poems - whatever fits the day and the mood. Nothing stays the same, here or anywhere. That's a good thing. Happiness. It's relative.
