rock. as in the second of the trio of "word. rock. yo" i am pretty sure i was rock.... but was i word? i wasn't yo. wasi? wow. (if you don't understand that, you likely shouldn't. its an inside joke. but i guess if i never have many followers...ha ha followers....)
rock as in in between that and this fucking hard place. "rock the boat". rock solid. rocks. like the ones we would try to skim in yosemite rivers. skimming (or attempting to even) rocks always makes me feel like a kid! much of yosemite is made of rock...
the obvious music. my first very clear "rock music experience" waas driving to nana and grandads playing billy joel, innocent man. that was first and immediate love. forever love. but like all loves, it hurts sometimes now. there is very rare a feeling like being close up at a show when the band is rockin it, you're hair is rockin, and hopefully, later, something else is a rocking.
have i ever had a "rock"? i have had best friends, and heroes and anchors and solace and peace and easy and mirrors and sisters and lovers, and the ability to just be me... but have i had a rock to depend on. like a chevy? those that should be your first two, sadly, never could be, for very different reasons. but now i, like she, ...if i had a rock, would i even believe in its ability to not roll away or crumble into dust?
if i had a hammer. i'd have used it on your rock paper scissors. i dont get it...
i am surprised by its main entry being a verb merriam. or webster. whoever wrote the defintion of rock. but now that i stopped and think i get that i missed "rocking" as in a baby to sleep. so not where my head is going.
