Rumaging through the detritus left by assorted roadside ditches and best forgotten back alleyways in search of something, that elusive something, that spark, that almost imperceptible spark, that spark that might nevertheless grow... and burn it all down to the ground because the only thing worth climbing anymore is down the sides into the dark of that pit where lone shadows shift and ravenous decay sifts through the remnants of what could have been but never was because today was ever good enough till tomorrow went away...

PS: That ain't my pic (if you don't recognize who that is, btw, shame on you), but he sorta almost looks like me in that one back in the day. Gone incognito for the time being.
PPS: I'm older than you. That means somewhat past 19 even. And then some.
