this is my best friend, benson… he is brilliant and sensitive, and can quiet any room with his animated storytelling.  

he also likes to party. 

ben wrote a poem for this picture:

Talons

A message precedes us.
Spat from brick fires,
Whined by the trains,
Murmured in dust,
And whispered by the seething asphalt
It is heard:
All there is is flesh. There is nothing else.
Depend on it.
