Tyler Golec “You should write about this,” Josh said looking at the sunset over Taipei. A bright blur sinking into the derelict and aluminum roof tops. “The sunset?” I asked. “I think I will, in some way.” “Yeah man,” Josh said with his camera out. He had put down his beer for a moment…

Lonely Writers
Tyler Golec, In a place where silver rivers flow In a place where we all want to go I want to go to a place where stories walk I want to go to a place where music always plays I want to hear Plato and Socrates talk I want to see Cleopatra gorgeous…

Wicken Tales Chapter 6: Waves from Ironmore
Tyler Golec “There beautiful aren’t they?” Strom wondered if his father and he were looking at the same behemoths of industry that convulsed contrasting black smoke into the pale sky. “Yes dad.” “Alright, I have to go to work.” Strom’s father turned to look at him.

Social Time Passing
Tyler Golec Flipping through social pages, passing time Quotes, image, articles, and posted porn That fills today’s news feed The world is ending if you didn’t know China will invade Taiwan And you are probably making these 10!

Yilan County #2: Waiao
Tyler Golec Feeling the dark sand The salt heavy sea cleans me A brutal baptism of force Fight, dive, roll, and swim Deeper into the sea spirits home Thrashed by the waves that cover me I know how this battle is fought And the Pacific welcomes me As I find peace amongst natures chaos Humility…

Watching
This is another poem from back in college. My sophomore year, 2010, to be exact: Tyler Golec Watching Time is valuable I think Or is it imaginary in worth? Ever moving The irrelevant truth of Liquor, bitter and warm Blood flowing, pulsing Like the tick of a clock Getting drunk now Soberness is…
