Blog So Hard // All My Cousins Wanna Find Me


Blog So Hard
All My Cousins Wanna Find me


When Brothers Unite.

Four score and thirty-six tweets ago, to the quaking bellows of rambunctious thunder, my brother hatched from a massive purple and salmon-pink polka dot egg. He broke free, shovel and tour-guide microphone in hand. As he left his hard-shelled womb he began to delicately ascend through time and space to the precipice of a CitySights double decker bus, stepping across Colorado and Minnesota on his way. A single moonbeam fleeted across the eggshell that glistened in his wake.

As the moonlight graced the sparkling husk ancestral spirits, like the Northern Lights, began to quiver across the sky. The silhouettes shook, two figures, dancing. A man who looked remarkably like Santa Clause twirled a woman who, from her war paint and battle markings, was certainly from Princeton. In an instant that felt like 19 months, as time dwindled through the Geographic delirium, the egg began to shake once more.

Ambitious rock climbers scaled Greek yogurt volcanoes. Candyland imps frolicked between ponds of sugar-free jelly, islands of low carb toast. The bosom of new fallen snow illuminated with a single hoof-print. The brother chased the Mexican red wolf to its den.

Suddenly,

Like Excalibur rising from the ashes,
A phoenix drawing from the stone,

Like the great kombucha waterfall tumbling
To the dark fathoms of scoby graveyards,

With a howl and then a sputter,
A cow and then an udder,
To the universe’s laughter,

Another child burst from the polka dot egg.
