Evan

No death by suicide last night

No waking to family's fear turned reality

His balcony

Weather routinely waits for the weekend

And I have been waiting for this weekend

It's okay

I imagined a spring promenade

Among trash and iron handrails

South Philly orange, a light

It's okay.

N.K. made a book, I bought it

Met in Clark Park, I got it

Mango lassi on church steps

Sweet potato lemon black pepper home

A phone call lunch with dad

Then time spent on the sofa

Yesterday, a group dinner

Tomorrow, El Carnaval de Puebla

And Good Luck matinée at The Church

Give Mark a hug at Trader Joe's

Wander Chinatown for 30 minutes

Call it a night

Song of the day: Codeine "Realize"

Evan is a skateboarder, musician, photographer, punk, and teacher. They are Congolese and Ukrainian. Sunlight finds the people of peripheral scenes deserving of its warm kiss or heated scorn, and Evan documents the proof of this short-lived romance. So, one will find them walking around South Philly making photographs of the banal, likely while air drumming to Q and Not U or The Locust. Skating the local DIY is where you may also find them.
