[WP] After you laze about in a looped day for years, God finally stages an intervention to tell you that you’re supposed to be trying to get out of the loop. I’m not usually this irritated. Rather, I’ve always been perceived as the very opposite. I mean, at least sometimes. Don’t dwell on that too …

For Him

Seattle
So this time, I get to flip the script. I’ve written about places I’ve been to before that Kevin had never visited, and now, I can write about the opposite. Kevin’s dad’s family almost entirely resides in Washington. His dad was born and raised there. Kevin can remember the many times that, as kids, he …
Under the Road
Dark outside, Black inside, Save the white glow of a headlamp, Illuminating the gray floor before me. Dust hangs in the air, Chalky construction dust, With powder I kick up, As we walk farther along. I chat with the woman beside me, Our voices low, Since even whispering can carry, And we can’t be discovered. …

Be Better. Do Better.

I've worked on crafting the answer to that question for the past few years. Usually, I've kept it very broad. Sometimes, I've outright responded with "Working for your company". …
