that there's nobody on the roads, that no one's on the pavements, that no one's gonna stop and stare.
i'd gone out to run, then changed my mind cuz my fbts was lose and kept dropping. walked towards boomers, reach the end of the road. feeling ambitious, i started in the other direction, and walked.
at my own pace.
and this i saw: a jewish family on their way to synagogue, walking. a crowded wholesome's choice. a bleeding blister. two snowmen on the rooftop of a house, inflated, not melting under the sun. tall trees. rubbish bins made me miss home. a hoping heart, a non-existent complex. a time to turn back. wanting to go on. everything but nothing. nothing but everything.
the magic schoolbus -------------------------------------------------
to start anew always seems to imply that the past is forgotten and trampled upon, the mind defenceless to the invasion of new memory.
i dont want to start anew, i want to remember. resistance is necessary.
so each day i remember a little something, wrap up this gift, before it fades away.
you-see-i miss,
the magic schoolbus (not yellow): dark. the heavy beat, us alone, all six, swanging, nodding our heads like yeah, tapping our toes tippety tip, as we go down down down down down the road, as if we're stars, where's the paparazzi, at the arc, road-crossing copycats.
