Nothing Star

lost my wallet broke my phone everyone around playing pokemon go

blacked out at the cemetery just remember taj finding a grave with his real name and naked humping the grave and kissing

he burnt all his writing and guitar and i fainted in the car while c8 cried about it

retrieved my wallet from a downtown rehab facility and got noodle soup and legally bought weed and walked in the night with foliage everywhere

i was naked alone in c8's apt and listened to vinyl which i mentioned in another story

taj meeted us inbetween driving lyft 2am in a pizza place and c8lin asked him what's been up with him and he mumbles not finishing his slice before leaving for a ride

taj would balance produce and food in funny or interesting positions in supermarkets and this made him popular on the internet for a period of time

in his backyard we watched his autistic daughter play naked lifting a plastic slide onto a small trampoline

“she just does whatever she wants,” her mom says

taj with skeleton facepaint on we hotwire his car and go to a bar and draw on the pool chalkboard and someone says to him, "what's your problem skeleton boy"

i meet shy for the first time and we roll around the grass after last call and drive to cannon beach where in a neighboring town eating pizza in a parking lot some delivery boy asks me if i play pokemon go

"i don't have a phone," i tell him
"well team ash owns seaside!" he shouts from his car

c8 drives us to LA where for the first time i see forest fires dancing with the sky over mounds on the horizon with dancehall music like a lulluby on the broken radio and her animals overheating in the back of the car

we sleep in a haunted boat and when she was picking me up from the airport her carside window was slightly ajar and a passing vehicle hit a puddle and splashed it into her face

“i will never forget this” she said and neither have i

for a while taj was doing well and people were buying his art online but he went missing for some time and when people tried finding him he told them he did not want to be found
