p. h. madore : “beneath the bridge & into the night”

We talk about dreams that never came true. About baseball games our over-worked fathers never took us to as children. About celebrities we'll never meet and politicians we're not eligible to vote for or against because we haven't an address to call our own, though sometimes it feels like they're all ours. We talk about sex we'll probably never have. About jobs we screwed up. About fights we may have actually lost (in our memories we never lose.) About jail. About how we wish we could master the art of fucking the system, if only for the sake of preventing it from screwing us.

 

And when we run out of nonsense to talk about, we put our change together so that we can drink until sleep under our makeshift shelter takes us away from all this for a time. We talk less with each swig, think more with each breath.

P. H. Madore remains. Recently he's been accepted at FRiGG Magazine, In Between Hangovers, Street Sense, and Thieves Jargon. He fathered DISPATCH.
