We used to spend this time together, but recently I just ponder alone, gazing at a dusty photo reel ten years in the making. A flood of scenes uncovered from young swing set drama to liquored up laughter, silly whispers in confidence to creating stories we'd never tell our kids. I've been staring for hours; I wish I knew why, and I wish I knew how, but the film has timed out and you're no where to be found. A solo swing creaking, you're drinking alone, with no one to tell your secrets to, you'll make stories with no audience. You just want to remember it as yours.

Kicking Off Rust
