having some rough days
this time of year
are you interested in knowing WHY you’re having rough days right now?
because i feel kind of like an ogre,
a little isolated,
a little lonely,
a little depressed,
a little scared of PDPs and SLOs and COMs and INCs
a little wistful; a fine drizzle softened the edges of Megan & Sheila as they darted across the mall parking lot --
-- where I’d dropped them off with something like 40 bucks each, awesome blonde hair, each others arms and ears, and their whole lives, a universe, fierce dreams, and the future roiling up behind them like an enormous gravity wave,
hovering over Venus
