Looking for When by: RT

 

 

 

with pruned fingertips,

I wrote a letter that I wanted to mail you

to say that you are the most confusing creature

to say that I am here in the middle of the raining city

and that I am reminded of being on the highest

slide at four years old,

I was crying to get off, to get off.

I was  crying for Lolo to help me get off.

 

Get off.

 

Get

I pouted, played with the pen and wrote

PS, crossed it out after.

The glass walls did what

I wanted to do for

I was too

cold. Too cold. You made me cold.

 

I dove my face on the paper,

when I rose, a man in Che Guevarra shirt

boastfully handed me his cellphone

 

“happy people scare me, you look like my soul mate

i’ll call you”

 

I typed 09157341135

 

his face was a canvass, his hands felt like aquarium.

 

days before today,

my sister complained

 

“a guy with trombone voice and hot air balloon vocabulary 

insists that I am his soul mate because I wore tie-dyed last Tuesday

and that I wrote on table napkins.”

 

I smiled at her, took off my bra under my old Guevarra shirt

and took a nap.

It is great that people are able to take the personal loans moreover, it opens up new opportunities.

Photobucket

 

she likes seashore naps and the view of everything from the bus window. she likes tiny moments and the small spaces between faces when people talk.

 

sometimes, she wakes up to that odd feeling of being a fallen leaf, an old tree, an azotea or a waitress somewhere-- talking to a taxicab driver about that random song on the radio.

and this. a proof that:

how you see LIFE is how

you actually see YOUR self.

maddening spurt:

 “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”

 

-Jack Kerouac-
