Happy reading! - Derailleur Press Rush Hour Most days I bump into boulders They shift and tumble causing my shoulders to crack It happens when everything is not quite right when your footsteps fail to find the ley lines of the earth You become a pariah a blocked profile Even the breeze impartial for the most part avoid your gaze However there is the rare occasion when your muscles stretch at the right moment A god-like cadence fill your every breath All of a sudden your limbs turn into silk Greens and whites fill your vision And the streets are not as narrow as you thought they once were Dominic Ross Garcia is the author of Looking for Giants and a frontend developer at Strand Book Store. He likes scribbling stories about people and gods and magic just to name a few. Currently, he is studying UX/UI design at Columbia University.
