  1. gravel is rough, gravel sounds like dreams fossilized and placed on the ground for texture to remind us what we tread on in life. everytime a dream dies, it becomes gravel on the road to life and we can all learn a great deal by examining the gravel we so callously crunch beneath our feet.

  3. Deep bitumen fellating through the ground, coarse and dark like rocksalt turned impure over time, thick and dense like mountainous paths leading into a false sense of security. Sludgerous and monotonous, deep and penetrating winding off on roads to distant lands.

  4. Grit that holds you to the road
    Slows you down
    or else you’ll spin
    & flip

    Try holding your weight in gravel
    Spilling out over the edges
    of your arms
    your fingers

    There’s just so much of you
    that isn’t so hard,
    encapsulated
    and reliable

  20. the small piece of gravel wedged itself into the bottom of her shoe. though it didn’t hurt, it made for some noisy walking as she continued to trod down the sidewalk.

  28. ground up dirty that works it’s way into cuts when you fall down and scape yourself. Horrible to run on. Are there gravel factories, or does it come from somewhere else, or is it just a natural occurrence? Does it have to be a special type of rock to be considered gravel?

  31. as in a judge’s? as in banging it against the podium when he/she decides the court is out of order? How does one person come by that power, how is he/she determined to be more objective fair levelheaded than everyone else? how can we judge anyone? does the opinions of many people converging to a similar point make it the truth or the nearest to the truth?

  32. gravel is the rocks stuck between my toes and I bend down in my new pants suit to tell the women I love that I can’t be with her.

  38. Gravel is what some roads are made out of and I like the way it feels under my feet but sometimes it cuts my feet. It’s really annoying when bits of gravel gets stuck in between your toes, though. It’s kind of frustrating, espcecially if you’re walking with someone and you all of a sudden have to stop walking, pick away at your foot, possibly use tweezers and continue walking.
    Gravel is good.
    I like gravel.

  40. I walked up the driveway up to the house. My boots scratched pleasantly against the dry gravel underfoot. I crossed the lawn to see her standing in the doorway. She was beautiful; more so than I deserved. I never could’ve made it so far without a girl like that.
