Rollercoasters; rolling coasts across an emotional spectrum; coast to coast the backside of a speck— :a kick to the ****** to wreck them into perspective. Message of advice? I text them— but these notes note me more than they help them; self-addressed envelopes, stamped with things I never said out loud. Maybe I’m just a noun— or a verb mid-becoming, with too many adds before I add up, add-ons— advertised into an adverb, modified by everything that modifies me. Adding verbs to sentences, trying to sentence a word from the Word; naming meaning like I own it… like language won’t one day outgrow me. Faith-full. Hope-full. Grace-full— until I lessen them… faith-less, hope-less, grace-less— suffix stripped, self-slipped. Up and down this rollercoaster— no safety bar for the soul; just loops of who I was trying not to throw up who I am.

Noun // Verb // Becoming
if you ask me what i love, i could give you a long list of who and what. but in my top three would be clouds. and im sure by now if you've gotten this far.. you've asked yourself or the device you're reading this on -- why? why does this random user like clouds? give me a moment, ill tell you in a few sentences.. it's because they tell stories. their shapes and stories are aphonic. they speak to you but not really. that's why i love them. you don't know what is "said" but you also know what is "said" at the same time. which is such an odd out of body experience. if that makes any sense to a sane person.
