This site is dedicated to the creative writings of Nick Roes.  His own personal favorite is "Escape From Brooklyn".  The drawing that inspired it (below) was created by Lina Megan Medvin.

This ride

has been

a bundle of contradictions

Twinkies and Sweet & Low

teddy bears and credit cards

Endless shores

and the great mistake of ‘98

A part of

but still alone

Art and music

and a past filled with freaks

It’s finally here

the exit ramp

I’ve been searching for my entire life

And I can’t wait

another second

to take the final turn
