The Street Lit Blog

Since I've moved to Missoula, the Street Lit authors in Austin have moved to a new site at http://streetlitauthors.org/, run by the awesome Tony Nuñez and Phil Force. 

Below you'll find Street Lit news posts from my Austin years with the group, and a selection of the creative works of the
 Street Lit Authors Club. I'll be posting new works from the Missoula folks sooner than later, so keep an eye on us. We've got great things in the works.

Comments are encouraged, and don't forget to share with your friends on Facebook & Twitter! Please consider a financial donation as well--your contributions keep the words (and the coffee) flowing!

Show your support for the Street Lit Authors Club!

ALL CONNECTED TO THE WHETHER
by Tim "Dezi" Reid

I always knew this day would come
Sometimes felt that it would never
Figured that all my problems 
Were all connected to the whether
Whether I took advice from others 
Or figure it out on my own 
Go see friends about my problems
Or whether, I’d call them on the phone  
Whether I stayed too long at parties
Barely walk from all the snow 
Sometimes I’ve fallen on the ice
From not being able to just say no
Whether I’m the last one at the party
Or the first one to arrive
Whether or not, I drink too much 
Sometimes just to feel alive
Whether I passed out from the pills
I thought would somehow kill the pain 
Sometimes stay inside for daze 
To find myself outside, standing in the rain 
But today, it finally came to me 
Hopefully remembering from now on forever
Somehow all the problems in my life
Are all connected to the whether
