It’s easy when you’re around people who understand.⠀
Who get what you mean when you say you decided to spend less time earning a living⠀
So you’d have more time to be alive⠀
It’s easy when you say this⠀
To people who have felt the pure white fizz of adrenaline as they fed the nose of their board under the skin of the sea⠀
As a wave rolled over their backs⠀
Felt the abstract lightness of owning⠀
Only what fits in their suitcase⠀
Felt the gut-dropping sensation⠀
Of risking it all on an idea
That may or may not work⠀
It’s easy when you are around the people⠀
Who will nod their heads and agree it makes perfect sense to throw all security out the window⠀
For this.⠀
It’s when they don’t get it.⠀
That’s what they mean when they say, ‘do you have the guts for it?’⠀
Can you pull into the suburbs⠀
After a lengthy trip away⠀
Can you see the half-acre blocks of land⠀
Lined up neatly in a row⠀
Knowing none of them are⠀
And maybe will never be
Yours⠀
Can you look at the people your age who have signed on the dotted lines.⠀
Can you watch them become more legitimate⠀
While you drift further away into the margins ⠀
And all you have is the skin on the back of your hands⠀
Leathered-brown and spotted from the sun⠀
A slightly water-damaged, ink-stained passport⠀
And a galaxy of badly-healed scars on your feet.⠀
Can you back yourself then?⠀
Can you stay solid?
You can?⠀
Well then⠀
Welcome to the wild side.
