5. kissing the sidewalk from a falling start. 
    wearing scabs like war paint. 
    eye boogers. 
    crusty nose.
    bandaged palms.
    ratty hair. 
    my ava.
    a beautiful mess.
    i love her so. 

  6. buffalo on my lawn

    “i looked outside my window and what do you think i saw?

    the strangest sight i’ve ever did see, i bet you don’t know just quite what i mean,

    still can’t believe it myself 

    i saw one buffalo, one buffalo,

    buffalo on my lawn,

    romping all around and stomping on the ground

    and all of my grass was gone.

    then i began to worry, about what to do?

    the strangest sight i ever did see, i guess you’ve guessed just what i mean.

    still can’t believe it myself

    i saw 2 buffalos, 2 buffalos, 

    buffalos on my lawn

    romping all around and stomping on the ground and

    and all of my grass was gone.”

    …

    today my dad visited and brought the buffalo with him.

    above is a song that i will always remember my dad singing to me as a kid. 

    i have a goofy dad, and he fed me with goofy things. 

    and as a result, i turned up a bit goofy as well…still can’t believe it myself. 

    love you dad.
