I picked Austin! But it didn't pick me.
...

lyrics

Cloudy January day mildly drizzling. I have arrived car-full and clueless. First time in a life I chose where to be based solely on my desire.

Classifieds now reveal rents higher than hoped. Southeast down river is all I can afford. Round bend the skyline begs my feet to meet. There each chance I get with this arrangement...

Working for the state in northern suburbs, do I really live
in Austin? Or just driving by?

Cooling October. Mineral’s playing; favorite local band’s final show. Feelings are enough to keep me company, yet oh what is lost without share.

Seeing same people yet never talking. Burden it should be on them to welcome. At South By I saw: “Don’t move here” shirts said. What’s special about me?; blip on their radar.

Grown no more shy than I was in Tampa, where had poems, zines, and station. I’m civilian now.

Drought sweet July, great day for a Drag walk. I made it and soon I’m leaving. Saved up for a door on 38th Street that opens to the city’s heartbeat.

Bike downhill to shows. A band from El Paso. Go away party, I’m only one knows. If I stayed more years, would I find my fit? Am I giving up what I can’t get back?

Certain lost a Mom in a year and half here. Drawn to those already know me. Found home but alone, so swallow, follow standard west migration pattern. Glad I stopped a while.
