riding through the desert with boys

by Rachel Lynch


Wasting time, they say I'm no good. Summer of my life. They think I'm dangerous, a little too adventurous, but I'm just making up for what I never had. I said yes. Take the the pill, take the trip. 

Riding around town, drinking in the white noise. Playing rock n roll, dancing in my head, got my cash in my boot. Palm trees in rows turn to cactuses. 

The solitude will break you, and so will life. You can't protect yourself. The only solution is to feel, to be swallowed up, to risk your heart. 

Everything in the universe was intended, and nothing is on accident. Every fall, only gives way to the greatest rise. Every detour was a dance, and embedded now in the fabric of your being. 

You are the sum of all your experiences, and attached to none of it. 

I told him pick me up, keep driving, and don't ever stop.
