Burton Speaks

Irony: i·ro·ny n The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.

I'm Burton from Portland, Oregon, United States. I'm 33 and live in the Portland Metro Area. I work hard. I drive fast. I play often. I'm sarcastic, appreciate irony, and find humor in even the darkest of events. I'm non-traditional. I question authority. I'm a know-it-all and a planner. And most days, I wake up thinking the world is full of fundamentally good people... and have a lot of problems when I'm proven wrong. Any other questions?

At noon he stands in a field
alone
kilt laying flat in the breezeless air
music wafting into nearby offices
as he coaxes from his instrument
the wail, the distinctive sound
of bagpipes
he plays a concert for an audience
that isn't there.
