Sportswriting

Tell me do you like to give or receive

Or do you like it better on hands and knees

And can you hear them losing and win

From the schoolyards by our house

With all the windows left open

Try to not see your failures ascending

Waitressing is a temporary thing

I wonder when the summer comes

And I still want to drive to your parent’s house

If you'll live somewhere else

I can hear them losing and win

Hood tween girls outside our house

Ripping her hair out for entertainment

Try to not see your failures ascending

You'll perfect the art of losing

Oh, what if when the summer it comes

And I still want to drive to your parent’s house

But you live somewhere else

We're getting there, home

Eugene, housed the days of truancy

10, 000 nervous breakdowns that drew me to the east

A home, a home I came running to the warehouse kids

That feared a boomerang home

Staring out at the backyard, wire and leaves interlocking
