notes (3/10 – 3/16)

Written with love & care by Drew Henry

these may as well be on a napkin…

…some notes (March 10th – March 16th, 2026):

slow, steady drumming

the undercurrent of trendsetters

falling into the abyss

the things a parent does, the lengths they go to, never ceases to amaze me

coffee & cigarettes for breakfast, lunch & dinner

maybe if i jus sit at the typewriter long enough, something will come of it

those hot dull afternoon hours… i almost miss the feeling of being sleepless at 2 a.m.

he wasn’t much of anything except for his writing

bitching… always bitching & moping around

three shots of Hennessy & a half pack of smokes will help most men face the day ahead or day before

i listen to the environment & read

what would you do if you had everything in the world & yet nothing at all?

loose ends to tie up… birds chirp & i know they’ll chirp again tomorrow. loose ends still to tie up.

a blessing would be weighing 169 again. i weigh about 198. we’ll work on it.

all i ever wanted was to hear the typewriter… clink clink clank clink

blink 182 on the radio & things feeling like 2016

turning on a record feels far more personal than shuffling music on your phone

guess it was all cool

nice spacious room

the records, the books

the kitchen & queen size bed

nice bathroom

nice neighborhood & all of that

maybe i’m already dead

and my heaven is here

deciphering wisdom is knowledge

the art of learning is in the intention

a good album is good for years on end

you can always come back to it

a day in the life:

wake up, take my pills

put a record on

& a snowboard film on YouTube with the sound off

write whatever, make lots of coffee

smoke throughout the day

play another record, this one then that one

write some more, read as much as possible

jus getting by

sometimes euphoric the boredom

depending on how i feel that day

go for a walk to 7eleven or Starbucks

it could all be so simple

wanna smoke this spliff in the backyard

take a hit, pass it then dip

sit in someone’s whip, cruise on the strip

then watch her strip

down the hatchet

one last go at it

nothing left but the dull middle zone

jus a bag of bones chilling at home

can’t even get stoned

phone stuck on dial tone, cell roams

sitting at the crib & hardly peaking

jus steady sleeping… up to nothing really

sedated off the pills

these days i’m hardly ever in my feelings

trickling of water in the shower

missing the days of Rocket Power

nothing hits like it used to

smoke a cigarette because what else should i do

i’m used to it, the feeling of being old news

all worn in & warped like this vinyl tune

place got some nice views

see you & wish we both knew

the bliss of each other’s warmth

cuddled in under the blankets

spring showers giving into harvest

your shoulder a place to rest

we escape down the old side streets

away from the formal exchange

to our secret spot out by the park

seemed a cool enough spot to smoke a cig

then we stopped by the corner store

picked up some coffee & a doughnut

whatever, just something to do

it was always whatever,

it was always jus something to do

listening to Elliot Smith

my life is all but over… my life has jus begun

where do i go from here?

maybe i should fast more often

give up porn, i guess, for spiritual reasons & to hopefully heal some of my chakras

i’m on a spiritual journey that requires me to stay off of my iPhone if i’m not writing

in my bag for you

reading more & sleeping in

listening to field medic at dawn

life’s such a feeble little romantic thing

rattling train tracks

the solemn brisk night

nowhere to go

lonesome crowded west

less is more

but sometimes more is more

either way

i jus want what’s needed

she was a dream

he never wanted to wake up from

you never had much to say

brewing coffee quietly

in the dozing morning kitchen

basking in the first hints of sunlight

you never had much to say

you jus conveyed everything

with a feeling

a deeply gentle, serene feeling

you never had much to say

to you, words were never enough

you’d look at me

& i’d instantly know how you felt

comfort of your sweater covered hands

as you rest them gently in mine

for a moment, a moment within forever

your kind of bond

the kind that never fades away

spoken into existence

not through words spoken,

instead almost purely via feelings

girls who rock dad hats almost always cute

bougie feminine nature

Jus Getting Started feel like OG Project Baby 2 Kodak

4evrglades4evrglades4evrglades4evrglades

nicotine, cash, rain falls, pitter patter pack

around the corner, loiterer

jus another fiend & a fifth

six hours later, nothing’s changed

six days later, nothing’s changed

six months… six years later, nothing’s changed

still about a bag & a bitch

still in my bag about 1000 of them

i miss you too much

numb my feelings cuz this shit all too much

over this, dust to dust

smoking till death,

smoking after it too

guess i been dead

what else is there to do?

nicotine, cash, rain falls, pitter patter pack

hit me up with the stacks & racks on racks

work on myself

save up to top shelf

sex sells, art doesn’t always

shit don’t matter if they don’t see the vision

let everything jus slide by

focus on the vision

pure gold, flash of crimson

the lord’s tears & ultimate redemption

we going up, don’t let nobody tell us different

glowing pains, adrenaline flow through veins

styrofoam cup of coffee & benzodiazepines

some light music, a little something to read

shows at night, cigs on the balcony

walks to the lake, coffee shop & gym

some late thing to crush on

expression of thought through art

the slow gentle ebbing flowing .wav of life

a good thought stuck in your head

God & family above all things

little smirk from a girl, kind words of a barista

space to breathe, create, process & decompress

meditative habitual ritual routine

igniting the spark to the match

unlocking spiritual consciousness & awareness

connection with humanity on a universal level

what else is there, if not experiences?

experience of the senses & mind, body & soul

creating an ecosystem

revolving around a calm nervous system,

chemical balance,

& universal alignment…

& jus vibing internally

with the universe externally

this life to the next, ups & downs are a certainty

we simply need to hold on & ride .wavs

catch a vibe,

cultivate & nurture whatever it is

so you peak more often than not

simply on atmospheric quality

innate sensitivity to energy

& a spiritual intuitiveness & insight

as well as self awareness & acceptance

with regards to the moment

you’ve arrived to & continually experience

jus existing as a key part of the whole cosmos

we are all keys to a universal portal

harnessing pure energy — eternally generating —

& a vibrant, high level collective consciousness

we are all beams of light

jus waiting in the wings to shine

glow angel baby… glow.

beam me up. beam us all up…

pick me up quick in the old ford bronco

bumping tunes smoking Marlboros

girls in it for a lil blow & a lot of dough

pull off the side of the road,

quick break, quick smoke

we used to feel better than the old folks

now i jus wanna be sitting pretty all alone

the rocking chair with no thoughts on the dome

nowhere to go

because i’m stoked

i’m doing my thing & feel at home

Over & over, playing an age old song

Looking around like what else is there to see

I’ve seen a lot of pretty faces in this life

Some not so pretty ones too

And i feel worn out from all of it

Weary of popular media

The whole thing’s played out

Of course, a lot of things

Can be seen more than once

Felt more than once

Heard more than once

I jus want to experience some things

For the first time again

And not feel as though

— As much as i’m through with the whole thing —

So too, the whole thing’s also through with me

dwell space, save face, first date

what’s with the rat race?

tired of the chase

smoking a cigarette

phoebe bridgers, ace of spades

you in the crowd

smoke signals, calling your name

aloof, standoffish vibe

sorry for being kind of an outcast

in it on the ride home, music blasting

you were everything, everlasting at the time

now i’m jus left with this cigarette

& all of these Dylan Thomas memories

damaged, broken brain

listen to Jelly Roll to ease the pain

jus want the drugs

because i ain’t ever had no love

sure i’ve had love, in reality

but i can’t feel that shit

i need something i can feel

vast open space high up in the mountains

find some shade to rest your mind in

zen isn’t about what we do

it’s about how empty our head is

finding relief in an empty mind

clearing out space, rid of clutter

awakening the inner sanctuary
