Chip Lips.
I’ve been eating barbecue chips like they’re goin’ outta style, yo. (But that’s not what this post is about. Better read on. . .) . . . Hi. I’m perched here in our RV, cozied up in fruit-punch-colored sweatpants, the dim hum of the heater droning on in an inexplicably comforting way. It’s unseasonably cold…

(Untitled).
Close your tired eyes. Taste the tingle of mint upon your lips as your chest rises and falls in an unrealized rhythm. You are here. You are here. You are here. Remember in the fourth grade when they said you’d changed? Or when you saw your name written on an old youth group prayer list?…
