LATELY
More important
than breakfast
is waking up next to someone
and having them gently touch your face
without you even asking.

Dallas Clayton

“Your’re no longer the same
and that’s why it’s great

cause you’ve changed many times
since the time you were eight

cause you’ve learned to be able
to carry out your weigth

or sit at the table
and finish your plate

or stand on a table
and bang on a drum

unashamed and amazed
by the you

you’ve become”

A Path

by Dallas Clayton

A.

If you do not accomplish the goals
you had when you were sixteen
you will be troubled the rest of your life
and will inevitably replace them with new goals
that are less fun and involve
a fear of failure.

B.

The best conversations
you will ever have 
will happen 
on a front porch
just before dawn.

You will be wearing your socks
cut off shorts
and wondering if you should 
hold out for breakfast.

C.

The two best ways to die
are laughing
and in battle.

“I love you like a curious child loves the unrelenting wild.”
