creeks

ever since i can remember, i have always been knee-deep in creekwater, clambering around slippery rocks and avoiding crawfish thinking that they'd eat my feet if i wasn't careful. everywhere i've lived, i've been ten feet from some kind of creek. i've erected treeforts on every creekbed, built dams to keep the shallow water pooled, and captured minnows in gladware containers. creeks are badass. you can throw rocks in them, jump in them, sit in them, float shit down them. it's crazy. i once found a baby bird near one. it died. i guess they're more fun to play in than throw baby birds in.

they tell you to never drink water out of creeks... i've done a lot. a lot a lot. maybe that's why i have brain damage.
