We Both Know

 



We Both Know (douglas brent smith)


you’ve been hurt i’ve been hurt, too   

everyone’s hurt you know it’s true   

we build ever taller walls    

and hope someday that they might fall    

   

you tell your truth, i start the chase   

you throw another beer in my face   

i think there must be something more to this   

   

we try and miss and try again   

we don’t need labels but we’re more than friends   

you don’t need to tell anyone and   

i don’t need to tell anyone but   

i think you know what i think you already know   

   

you’ve been free and i’ve been free   

let’s unlock this mystery   

you be you and i’ll be me   

this is us we both agree   

and i think we know what we both know

She Could Juggle Anything

  She Could Juggle Anything, sketch by Douglas Brent Smith, from Journal #34, Mission Control.  Juggling is dancing. Objects join in the dance. Sometimes you control those objects, sometimes those objects appear to control you. The illusion is part of the fun.

Back Inner Cover

  Back Inner Cover of Journal #33, Life In Progress, by Douglas Brent Smith, A collage that's not exactly a typical collage. It's what I often do with the back inner covers of my journals -- simply randomly put stickers, stamps, name tags, and other sticky objects.

Wild Towers

  Wild Towers -- collage by Douglas Brent Smith Notes: In the lower right corner is one of my favorite photos -- my brother Dave and me at Grandmom and Grandpop Rogers' house. If you look closely you can see Grandpop Rogers sitting in his chair. He was probably reading the newspaper, the Bridgeton Evening News. It was a great newspaper in those days and Grandpop read it front to back every night. There are more clear versions of this picture, probably even in other collages because I love it so much. Those were wonderful days and I miss my little brother so much. 

Why Gamble?

The less we make our world look like a casino the better off we'll be. -- Doug smith Notes: Just for fun, I added this collage. It is not a casino.
