Before I walk through the door, I watch the Pegasus on the wall take flight.
Outside, there's a man I know and he smiles at me. I know him from home. He was one of us before, but not right now. Later, maybe.
Dave is wearing a jacket that is not his. There are wide fringes cut in the sleeves and random stripes of spraypaint. It makes him look like the man the jacket belongs to and I don't like that, because that man is also with us. He is one of us, but we only need one of him. As we walk across the bridge, I clench my jaw and a shiver runs through me. Dave notices. He reaches his arm around me. The crisp flutter of the fabric echoes loud in my ear, as he encloses me in the coat with him. Now I am glad he is wearing it.
As we look upon the mural on the bridge, I see one of us is painted there. It's the man who owns the jacket. He has a tall red mohawk and I like him. I'm not surprised someone would want to paint him.
At the museum, we lounge on the cool cement. I'm not sure I'm getting it. A girl I love very much points to a stony pattern in the ground and says that if I look hard enough, I'll see it. She's right- now it's moving and if I look hard enough, I can make anything I want out of anything at all.
She's lying on the ledge with her wine-colored locks flowing over the edge and I think of Medusa's serpents. I am not afraid I will turn to stone but I am afraid she will fall and I beckon her to me. We sit by the fountain and watch the lights, and she splashes her feet in the spray.
Another man with us turns into a rat in the park. He's sneaky and fast and he scuttles around in the darkness. I keep my distance.
We lie in the grass and gaze up. The stars are dancing and the clouds keep changing shape.
Walking through town, we pass a bright pink building of corrugated metal. There are giant green frogs on it and they are hopping everywhere. The girl is laughing and laughing and holds me as she points: "Look, Valerie! Frogs!"
We see a different man we know. He's very kind. He takes us for a ride, and now we are far from the city. Dave climbs a tree as I swing and we watch the sunrise and the most beautiful colors I've ever seen swirl through the sky. I smile and smile and then we go.
Back at the room, the music plays, and the smoke rises. We savor the last glowing trails of burning cigarettes in the grayish light of dawn.
The cats are happy we're home, and their calico patterns lull us to sleep.
I'll never be the same.

'driving home
the sky accelerates
and the clouds
all form a geometric shape
then it goes fast
you think of the past
and suddenly
everything has changed' -tfl

I understand that entirely, Coley.
It reminds me of how one day, I was stuck in an apartment with a few people I just met, because unbeknownst to me, my partner-in-crime for the day didn't share my outlook on the sanctity of such endeavors. I desperately wanted to go outside for some fresh air, and the only thing that kept me calm was convincing myself of the fact that since it was obvious the apartment walls were already breathing so very deeply, then the air inside must be fresher than it seemed.
=========
that's brilliant. I'm glad it worked.

It seemed quite logical to me at the time, while she was rambling on about how I ought to take the painting down from the wall ("because sometimes they hide money behind paintings, like in the movies") that I mention to her that she'd never be able to sleep on the pillow she was resting her head on.
"Why not?" she asked.
I said "because that pattern is far too busy to be conducive to a restful night."
Strangely nobody seemed to understand.

with a healthy desire
Don't give me no shit
because...
i've been tired.

What's this? You've given up your internet threats in favor of reading now? Somehow I doubt that, you sweaty mongoloid.

Three times, and you're considered clinically insane.

I only did it for the alibi. Smart, huh?
O- All three of those jingles could prove quite useful, just not at the same time.
I'm surprised there is any confusion here..it was all crystal clear at the time..

I wrote some jingles for you. Pick one.
"Maybe she's born with it! Maybe it's mescaleene!"
"Maybe she's born with it! Maybe it's LSD!"
"Maybe she's born with it! Maybe she should blow me!"
