Black and gray *** leaf tube socks are stretched up to his kneecaps. They cover the rugged saw-like shin bones that nustle themselves underneath a layer of soft, pale skin. Beige khaki shorts, tethered and worn. A rip in the left pocket, a hole in the back; Cigarrettes and a ***** empty, leather wallet reside in the other two. A hint of a minty, floral perfume, emanating from the cotton fibers of his tattered, black, t-shirt, remind him of the long, arduous night that had past. Clouded and confused, liqour infested, and hardly satisfied. He stumbles through the morning dew covered grass, etching a new path home. He feels no regret, no remorse. Only an uninhabited, nugatory self.

Morning Adventure
Black and gray *** leaf tube socks are stretched up to his kneecaps. They cover the rugged saw-like shin bones that nustle themselves underneath a layer of soft, pale skin. Beige khaki shorts, tethered and worn. A rip in the left pocket, a hole in the back; Cigarrettes and a ***** empty, leather wallet reside in the other two. A hint of a minty, floral perfume, emanating from the cotton fibers of his tattered, black, t-shirt, remind him of the long, arduous night that had past. Clouded and confused, liqour infested, and hardly satisfied. He stumbles through the morning dew covered grass, etching a new path home. He feels no regret, no remorse. Only an uninhabited, nugatory self.
