I dry my hands on dead trees— that Texas sun-freeze— Did you hear me say please It didn’t change a thing You don’t see me here, drowning in your last beer Just the tane in your mirror I can’t change a thing You’re not an ink that bleeds, but I wear my heart on my sleeves, so take 3 steps away from me You can’t change a thing

yr destined to die and im destined to cry
THIS IS SAM SCOVILLE’S EVALUATION OF MY WRITING:
Caroline, VOICE is all. Content’s galore In your own helter-skelter conversational way you’ve got VOICE—a big-deal among people in creative writing programs look for and hope to find. Their own voice the way the rest of us hope to find our own self. Author authorizing authority authoritatively That’s what counts. The...

I know I’ve posted this before, but it’s my favorite quote. So, think about it again.
There comes a time when the sun is defiant. Just about the time when moods change, inevitable seasons of a day, transitions from one color to another, that hour or minute or second when the sun is finally defeated, finally sinks into the realization that it cannot with all its power to heal or...
Shit happens:
I cannot wrap my mind around it, still. Shit happened today that reminded me of this terrible loss. The emotions I see other people going through are so similar to the emotions that I went through when you died, and in a weird way, I find peace with that. I don’t know what you would have become over the years and I don’t know how your life would have played out...

IN TOO DEEP
IN TOO DEEP AND WHAT TO DO?

I HAVE NEVER FELT SO ANXIOUS ABOUT GOING HOME IN MY LIFE.
I kept saying things, so many things, and he remained still. I know him. I knew that I shouldn’t have pushed him. I knew that I should have stopped talking, but I went on anyways. I listed his bad qualities and accused him of various bad deeds. I got more and more desperate each time he failed to respond and so I kept pushing, even though I knew, I was fully aware that I should have stopped....
Alone in a parking garage, A wife turns to a man and she says, She says; Henry I don’t feel the same as before, and I don’t think I love you anymore. He turns to her and he says; Love, what put these thoughts in your head? Guess I’ve always been distant, I’ve always known, I just don’t want to be alone. She says the fire that burns inside, For years has...

I am so lucky to have siblings that I really love. And parents.
Me reacting to you
When I picture myself, I can only see me reacting to you. It’s that dependency that scares me, in addition to my doubts.
God, those doubts! They consume me, eat away at my psyche, torment my heart.
Memories should never be so spectral. A thought should not be able to construct a reality. But when I think of you it is no longer just a thought. It is reliving the past and it literally makes...

Sam Scoville, you are IT!
IT happens. If I like IT – I’m hap-y. If I don’t like IT – un-hap-y. IT’s not a matter of finding IT (hap-iness). IT’s all around, constant: a given. HAP Happening happily—no perhaps or mayhap about IT. . I don’t have to look for happiness. I am or I’m not. My choice. I’m mostly not happy with hap. IT could be better. More to my...

The Media is the Message (not the message) In other words: the Context is the Text (not the text) Or: the Process is the Product, (not the product.) And the Background is the Figure (not the figure) A joke, yes? Get it? This possibly confusing play with words may be a delight or a consternation for you—and suggests what happens when How Things are Said (the media) is factored-in...
