| Tyler Knott | |
| Gregson. | |
| hotographer. Poet. Artist. Exploitable Genius. Word | |
| Alchemist. Thought Translator. Boy With Faraway Eyes. | |
| Buddhist. | |
| nd I absolutely love his work. | |
| hape Shift | |
| want | |
| to be the book that sleeps beside your bed, the one you reach | |
| for when you cannot find the backs of your eyes and paint with | |
| your own ink to highlight the sentences that highlighted | |
| something inside you. The bent pages and water damaged spine and | |
| the ring of brown where your coffee mug couldn�t help but sit | |
| when the skin on your fingers couldn�t handle the heat any | |
| longer. Let me be the tan lines you don�t know you have, from | |
| where the sun reached in for a kiss but found fabric or metal or | |
| shade instead. The halo of lighter skin that lives under your | |
| ring or the lines below your toes that trace the days you wore | |
| flip flops instead. Would you love me more if I was your | |
| favorite dress? The one that came out on special occasions and | |
| made your lips do that little pursed smirk during your last | |
| glance for the last time in your last mirror on your way out the | |
| door. The silent nod of approval that all things are in the | |
| right place and tonight, yes tonight, you feel beautiful. The | |
| one that drops jaws and raises eyebrows and forces hearts to | |
| speed up when slowing down for the night was all they had on | |
| their agenda. I had a dream I was rainfall, but the kind that | |
| followed you around and only fell in your hair. The little cloud | |
| that carried me was a magnet to the metal in your blood and | |
| sticks to you through the comic strip course of your afternoon. | |
| The kind that rains under your umbrella as if your umbrella | |
| alone created it. Let me be that rain as you splash and jump and | |
| play inside it, the feeling of it soaking your socks and that | |
| gorgeous realization that wet socks should drive you crazy but | |
| just cannot today, just will not if it�s me that�s the water and | |
| your socks are drinking me like they are dying of thirst. I want | |
| to be the conversation that�s held entirely without words but | |
| instead with the ballet of your lips on my lips. The slight | |
| pauses and the long drawn out sighs. The words that translate | |
| themselves as we pull our mouths apart for a moment just to | |
| memorize the exact smell and taste and tactile imprints that we | |
| were left with. The argument that takes place under sheets | |
| instead of across tables, the peaceful resolution that comes as | |
| I wash your hair in the shower and see the letters of our | |
| disagreement whirlpool themselves around the drain before | |
| vanishing forever. The soap bubbles that pop all around us and | |
| each carry the same sounds, if only we were small enough to | |
| hear, Do they all say how silly we have been? How small the | |
| furniture in the household of that fight? How crooked the | |
| paintings and how sloped the walls of that argument? I wonder | |
| what it would feel like to be anger, or sadness or even regret | |
| inside you? I would love to be any emotion that you, without | |
| knowing why you do or even being able to help the fact that it�s | |
| habit now, keep bottled up deep inside you. I want to know what | |
| it feels like to shake you from your skeleton and rattle those | |
| bones and make every freckle dance with how hard your skin | |
| shakes. Then I want to be the calm that washes over you and the | |
| realization that you are exactly where you are supposed to be | |
| and that no one, not any one, can ever take that away as long as | |
| you believe in it. I want to be the smell of your childhood home | |
| and the reaction your body has when something smells exactly | |
| like it. That instant transportation to somewhere simpler. I | |
| want to be 5:00 am on Christmas morning and the way that every | |
| other person in the family yells at you to make it at least 7, | |
| come on, this year, at least 7. Maybe I could be a dog that | |
| followed you home one day or looked at you with just the right | |
| combination of love and need that made you stop your feet from | |
| shuffling out the shelter door and turn on the spot you stood to | |
| rescue me. Maybe if I was a dog, on the day I died all you would | |
| ever possibly remember were the good moments and good things | |
| that I did and never the mistakes or the times I broke things | |
| that shouldn�t be broken or acted just a little too defensive | |
| and willing to show everyone everywhere that you belonged to me, | |
| and I belonged to you. I want to be the sound, that sound I am | |
| sure every person on every planet makes but no one will ever | |
| make quite like you, when you stretch your body as far as it | |
| will stretch in the morning. That soft mix of moan and squeal as | |
| you bend the sleep from your weary bones and remind them that | |
| they were built for being vertical no matter how much they love | |
| the feeling of lying down. I wonder how it�d feel to be your | |
| favorite song? The one that makes you stand to look for the hand | |
| that can only land on the small of your back and spin you in | |
| slow circles to the words you know by heart. I want to be known | |
| by heart like all the songs that act as soundtrack to all the | |
| memories of all the things you�ve ever done. I want to be your | |
| first day of school when you were just a child, the backpack | |
| that was bigger than you were and the school supplies you | |
| shopped for weeks in advance after checking the list and | |
| checking it again that was taped with too little scotch tape on | |
| too big a window outside the hauntingly empty parking lot that | |
| is a school in summer. I want to be your dreams, be they | |
| nighttime dreams that take you to places that you have never | |
| been or put air between your feet and the earth that you�re | |
| locked to or just simply let you sit around a table that you and | |
| I built out of old wood we found on slow walks through rainy | |
| fields. I want to be the steam that rises from two cups of tea | |
| while we sit at that table and the way the light seems to play | |
| in it when it�s filtered through the dirty windows still moist | |
| with the morning. Or your day dreams, for they are dreams too | |
| even though they always get passed over for the silly fact that | |
| they lack the qualifier of sleep to fuel them. The daydreams | |
| where you stop, mid-bite or mid-sentence or mid-morning and just | |
| stare into nothing to fill it with so much something else. I | |
| want to be that something else and the way your pupils dilate | |
| when you start leaving this place to spend a breath there. Maybe | |
| I could be piano keys so your fingertips could dance across me | |
| and no matter how out of tune I found myself, you could still | |
| find a way to make music. I want to be a short winter filled | |
| with long snows and a long spring filled with longer | |
| thunderstorms and I want to be the goosebumps that crawl up the | |
| back of your spine at the first bolt of lightning, the first | |
| crawling boom of thunder and the way your eyes raise up big and | |
| bright in tandem with a giant inhale when you hear it. I want to | |
| be a handwritten letter that you wrote to me, and I want to be | |
| the letters that you carefully chose to put next to the other | |
| letters and the way you worked hard to make the sentences dance | |
| together. I want to be your handwriting scrawled across the | |
| pages and the bravery of choosing ink and not lead so mistakes | |
| stayed mistakes and could not hide from my reading eyes. I want | |
| to be the word and more than the word the promise of Yours, | |
| before you sign your name. I want to be that flourish of that | |
| pen and the way it connected to your skin and that skin covered | |
| your blood that carried all the words from your heart to your | |
| finger tips through that pen that your fingers held too tightly | |
| and pressed too firmly into the paper it wrote upon. I want to | |
| be the pages under those pages that still carry the indention of | |
| your thought process and I want to be the part of the envelope | |
| you lick to seal up tight all the things you could never say to | |
| me. | |

| Typewriter Series #317 by Tyler Knott Gregson *Text below in | |
| case it�s hard to read: �Somewhere, someone thinks they love | |
| someone else exactly like I love you. Somewhere, someone shakes | |
| from the ripple of a thousand butterflies inside a single | |
| stomach. Somewhere, someone is packing their bags to see the | |
| world with someone else. Somewhere, someone is reaching through | |
| the most terrifying few feet of space to hold the hand of | |
| someone else. Somewhere, someone is watching someone else�s | |
| chest rise and fall with the breath of slumber. Somewhere, | |
| someone is pouring ink like blood onto pages fighting to say the | |
| truth that has no words. Somewhere, someone is waiting patient | |
| but exhausted to just be with someone else. Somewhere, someone | |
| is opening their eyes to a sunrise in someplace they have never | |
| seen. Somewhere, someone is pulling out the petals, twisting | |
| the, apple stem picking up the heads up penny, rubbing the | |
| rabbits foot, knocking on wood, throwing coins into fountains, | |
| hunting for the only clover with only 4 leaves, skipping over | |
| the cracks, snapping the wishbone, crossing their fingers, | |
| blowing out the candles, sending dandelion seeds into the air, | |
| ushering eyelashes off their thumbs, finding the first star, and | |
| waiting for 11:11 on their clock to spend their wishes on | |
| someone else. Somewhere, someone is saying goodbye, but | |
| somewhere, someone else is saying hello. Somewhere, someone, is | |
| sharing their first or their last kiss with their or no longer | |
| their someone else. Somewhere, someone is wondering if how they | |
| feel is how the other they feels about them and if both theys | |
| could ever become a they together. Somewhere, someone is the | |
| decoder ring to all of the great mysteries of life for someone | |
| else. Somewhere, someone is the treasure map. Somewhere, someone | |
| thinks they love someone else exactly like I love you. | |
| Somewhere, someone is wrong.� | |
