austin memories

scott was a neighbor
at the metropolis
austin, south austin
live across the
courtyard of courtyards
his roommate pete
i think was his name
was a lover of the ladies
not that scott wasn't
but scott got it
his origin dallas
modest mouse fan
pot head
but deeper thought
was all about scott
we went 2 the
quinten t film festival
together
he got it

we used to start
many a morning together
getting baked
and listening
2 awesome tunes
and coffee
can't forget that
what a way
2 start the day
with this super
human being
scott

something about
the name
holds power for me
maybe it's my uncle
god rest his soul
my namesake
but scotts'
in my life
are all powerful
all meaning

scott moved out
sometime during
my stay @ da met
the crazy eclectic trap
that complex was
pete stayed
with a cat
but after he left
it was all gone
the magic
the palpable moments
him and i
he got it
i wanted 2
get it

i remember
early on
seeing him
@ stubbs
an austin staple
at a mm concert
back in the day
b4 they became
known for that
1 tract mtv
overplayed
2 da max

after that
we were bonded
somewhat
somehow
we both got it
words weren't
necessary

he lived next
door 2 thomas
the pot dude
whose kid i
babysat
in exchange
4 weed
back in da day
wow times have
changed

he was layed back
relaxed; so cool
our morning coffees'
and music sessions
with the bong
of course
were meaningful
to me
still 2 this day
