When Things Don't Work Out

When things don't work out
it feels terrible
Like getting silently rejected 
by a cute neighbor girl
who invited you on a hike 
via Facebook
Some things don't work out
and it's for the better.
Like when the cute neighbor girl 
who has retracted her invitation
is said to have herpes
then things aren't so bad.

Wet Crimes

He floats his boat on criminal waters
Bragging incessantly about his endeavors. 
His craft is an intrusive spin on identity
and what it means to create and augment said identity.
His craft is a gateway to a dark, wet culture,
vibrant with misfits, street kids, vandals, and brilliance.
If life is guided by lines, he lives bounded to jagged contours,
shapeless shapes, and wild appendages frolicking across flat planes,
adding depth to dimension.

He has peers.
Faceless figures known only by colorful pseudonyms,
each as street worthy and damage hungry as the next. 
They travel in packs or all alone. 
They have a code, that you never pay for supplies.
That you do not support the system that you are debilitating.
That stealing is necessary.
That not stealing is a not a crime.
