ODE TO A RED GIANT:
a sturdy connection to earth
keeps me in my resting place
then stretches up towards the sky
into her cloudy warm embrace
each limb a legend of it's own
my skin like a living trace
of a history most condone
that i've stood out in this place
i've stood here for five hundred years
and felt as each wind changed
sad to think, with a man & a blade
my birds-eye view could instantly fade

I went on the most fucked up ride ever after school yesterday...but it was still pretty fun. McHugh decided to take us "exploring". We pretty much got lost on the crappiest road with ruts adn rivers going thru it that was always either so steep up or down that we had to get of our bikes and walk them. At one point we got to a road and we could see to our left, down a steep, rocky, dead tick brush-covered hill....some farm houses and a little paved road. after a while the road started drifting away from the houses so Garret and Spencer decide that we need to "mob it down the hill" so we all got off our bikes and began walking them down teh hill. It was soooo hard dragging my bike over all the tick brush...adn everythime you stepped your feet would sink into the dead scratchy sticks makign tons of little cuts on the ankles. and then trying to drag the bike after me as it was getting stuck in bushes. it was steep as a mother fucker, bt we finally got down and found ourselves somewhere on caves highway. We got back to the school liek 45 minutes late, too. everyone but me was covered in poison oak today...hehe...i dont get poison oak...hehe.
