We sat on the back porch reading Bukowski to each other as we hid from the sun. Even the overgrown wasp from the summer before feared the heat. And I watched you blow smoke as you preformed and as the shadows grew long and uneven. And everything was good and everything was perfect. I left you that evening for far away states in an over driven machine that floated through the concrete river. Chased disappearing shadows until they were nonexistent. And as sickly sweet poison and smoke paid homage I thought of you and knew that Everything was good and everything was perfect. Neither of us are certain how the world began or the power of coincidence. I will never be able to express how autumn makes me feel, or how much I love you, But I know that you are everything good. You are everything perfect.

For Harvey
We sat on the back porch reading Bukowski to each other as we hid from the sun. Even the overgrown wasp from the summer before feared the heat. And I watched you blow smoke as you preformed and as the shadows grew long and uneven. And everything was good and everything was perfect. I left you that evening for far away states in an over driven machine that floated through the concrete river. Chased disappearing shadows until they were nonexistent. And as sickly sweet poison and smoke paid homage I thought of you and knew that Everything was good and everything was perfect. Neither of us are certain how the world began or the power of coincidence. I will never be able to express how autumn makes me feel, or how much I love you, But I know that you are everything good. You are everything perfect.
