CAYAMBE NAVY MULTI

There are certain colors that you know will fade
Almost immediately after purchasing
A crimson lake about to drown itself in dirty brown
A sky blue, cloudy with a chance of looking like shit
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ochre, sandwiched between black and peach
It’s like you can see a future filled with disappointment
Wrapping itself around the optimism of a pair of bright sandals
That dare to set the bar too high.

Trent wears Cayambe navy multis.
He wants to suck the juice out of life.
He “knows the world eats idealists, but damn…”
He says there’s something beautiful about the gap
Between expectation and reality.
Trent is a shitty boyfriend.

CANYON RED

Do you wanna read my books?
Like, do you really wanna bleed for these stacks?
Shelves and shelves, John Waters…
