Imperial ales coerced our high gravity choices one day. Bleeding, drenched and on full alert, I limped from the Tuck's bank to the brewery. With one pole wet, my whistle was next; I needed hoppy nourishment, salty pretzels and a stool. Lacking fish or gear, I imagined it would be difficult to explain my appearance, but I didn't give a **** I come as is. To my 3 o'clock a smoke ring silhouette vacuumed my exhale like spooling cotton candy from 3 feet away; I took a breath and inhaled her dandelion seeds. A tattoo of a paper airplane on her wrist was faded from afar, yet as she flew closer the ink appeared fresh, 2-3 weeks old. Her hair smelled of patchouli, parsnips, an Asheville scent. Closer now, I recognized a look of love or disgust in her eyes. Can't tell em' apart anymore, as the prior wears a disguise, eventually becoming the latter. She asks my name and I ask the barkeep for two double IPA's. We don't need a racetrack to run in circles anymore.

Double IPA's & Dandelions

Seek out the dangerous path, the easy one's have cattle trails.
