This is it all
You & I
Need to forget everything we know
Whatever this is
Was broken by you
I trusted but shouldn’t
Silence was your favorite answer
As if
You win by being a
Tin man
You can go without
Love or a
Heart
But if anyone asks
What we were about
Remember I wanted to be yours

I have a lot of silly things (some dark things) inside my head, so I write them down. Sometimes they turn into poems.

December 8, 1980
When I was six or seven, my stepdad came into my life, and I remember thinking he knew everything. He could befriend anybody, anywhere. In grocery stores, he chatted with strangers over cuts of meat; at gas stations, he bonded with people pumping fuel over how the smell of gasoline was disgusting and yet enjoyable. In restaurants, he took an interest in waiters’ lives—like Steve, whose father was dying of cancer. When Steve’s dad died, my new dad attended the funeral.

Beyond the Breaking Point
Often, it's not that you don't want to let go, but that you can't, because the relationship hasn't reached its natural end. Don’t rush or force yourself to find an answer. Deep down, you know you should leave, but your body won't budge.

Super Bowl LX Recap: A Team Called Hawks
Sixty. The Super Bowl turned 60! Still amazes me that this was the sixtieth Super Bowl played in NFL history. It seems like yesterday that I watched Super Bowl XXVII, the first SB I ever watched. The QB who won Super Bowl XXVII has since called a few SBs, and will call next year's game, but that's another story. Super Bowl LX took place at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the home stadium of the San Francisco 49ers. However, it was one of their division foes who represented the NFC, as the Seattle Seahawks faced off against the New England Patriots.
