portrait of a brother

he is 16 going on 17. he drives. he wears vans slip-ons and converse glasses. typical. he turns up his nose at going to college in the midwest. underneath bootlegged copies of 70s rock and 80s new wave cd's lies the joshua tree, its execrable existence spelled out in scrawling permanent marker. he is quiet. his bedroom is still painted blue with white trim and animal posters, with the addition of a guitar or two. he wants to be a doctor eventually. he reads herman hesse of his own free will. i think i've taught him well.

p.d. in snooping through his pandora station (pixies radio, obvs), i find that he has thumbs upped maps. YEAHHHHHH I WINNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
