Just a week before
the storm, Chris, Jake and I are on the rocks in Lincoln, behind the movie theatre
just trying to kill time. The rocks making such a tiny fuss of a cliff face were
amber like a desert without the cacti. We stood facing the paved road of industry.
A bitter cold Phoenix Arizona. A city poisoned—the water saturated with bright little
pills. The “happy” kind. I know where this road leads and I am glad that the chase
is over.
To kill time before our movie

and I watch from the rocks the road in front of us as the lights begin to glow behind
us. This industrial desert. Phoenix. Las
Vegas. Santa Fe. These places no longer rise. But collapse under the tar and
cancer. On the rocks behind the movie theatre, we stand and watch them die.

I like your posts. They always provide me with inspiration to start writing again. I noticed you've made some changes to your blog. I was wondering if you put in a creative commons license yet. If not I think it might be a good idea. I would hate for your work to be given credit to someone else. You have a way to speak with such power. Keep it up! I think you are amazing!
That was very nice. I really liked it. I also your new blog design. You are very creative.
Thanks guys.. I'm glad you are enjoying the blog!
How would one go about getting a creative commons license?
