The first things I ever collected were bottle caps. I would pick up every one I’d find on walks with my dad. I made a bracelet with them that’s currently under my bed. They’re in a bag with photographs and song lyrics and report cards and letters from friends, all stuff of my dads all memories he’s had. These are the things that come to mind whenever I smell sawdust. Along with the memories of the malt liquor, weed, speed, and rust. Grateful for the good times, wish we had more time to talk about the bad times but it seems the time for that is over.
