RUMBLE

Sam DJ, burnt out by the clay game, searches for a plusher posse:

to make is to live with the daunt of waking any sunny morn to find the crayon one’s held in ones heart is all wrong; all wrong & in fact quite embarrassing. to persist then or to pivot? whatever the case: bruises

RUMBLE wrenches Sam from the slabs that built his house & caked his lungs:

some of my best friends are brick monoliths, some of my best lays are radical pots & i get it yeah i get it. i get it! but after so much burning one just wants a softer pillow

RUMBLE is a lurch into the padded muscles of new lovers:
