the way it is.
I'm Scott Braun.
Sometimes known as Scottypants.
Freelance photographer.
Musician.
(Yes I know there are a lot of Instagram shots in this blog in the last few weeks. Let it be known that THAT'S not what makes me photographer. I just had to say it.)
All of the photography/video/music/poetry on this Tumblr blog is mine unless otherwise stated. It is not to be copied/stolen or otherwise utilized without my written consent.
Sometimes I remix local bands’ music. This is a remix of MeteorEyes “Deeper.” They’re from Sarasota, FL.
The Goldfish and the Steel Trap
It’s never quite the same after sunrise
talks and late nights, so I’ve learned to
straighten my back for you inside
midnight walks and heartfelt musings
Screaming our fluent sarcasm outwardly
at the universe while singing songs in
the key of the future
You met me at a strange time in my life
and it’s not like me to hold dearly any
new worlds so quickly
But oh how quick I was to see the new
world through your eyes and through your
thoughts as your heartbeat followed on
the backs of your words
Racing through shared cigarettes just
to get to the next portrait-painted
conversation about anything we could get
our hands on
Always reaching out for more but never
out of desperation only out of fascination
Never grasping at straws but
instead climbing on a shared sense
of existence so we could keep from
waking the roommates
And on that last night of second
goodbyes after caging the goldfish
in the steel trap, you looked past my
eyes
You looked at me
I looked at you
And I think we both knew we’d know
Someday
Soon
