SONG OF THE DAY: Nothin' To Lose


Nothin’ to lose, nowhere to go, circle a prayer around the largesse land mass I inhabit. Nothin’ to lose, everywhere to go, meander my shit all over, scatter thought seeds in hopes something takes root somewhere, bears fruit in different environment that gives me sustenance I ain’t getting in this depleted soil. Humans don’t physically have roots, just metaphysical ones we make for ourselves, slowly over time, over generations, sometimes with more traumas and shocks than comfort and cultivation. Nothin’ to lose except what you’ve got, which when it don’t feel like much, fuck it, go for it.

the illegitimate arts
litter my entire landscape;
all I know is this I live

bleak American landscape
through road-weary filter; sun
will shine long after we’re gone
all these places I barely
remember passed through while greyed
out - piecing it together

dull dystopian landscape
of gridlock and self-contained
lives rarely escaping walls

trailers become immobile,
nearly carved into landscape,
modified as lives required
