relations[; hips] & fishing

like a dog chasing cars;
what would i do if i ever caught one?

plenty of fish in the sea

that is my, disinterest in [g]
you r being
boring

and i have respect for your keeping at bay


and wasn't it einstein who defined
insanity as repeating the same experiment expecting
different results?

in an ideal world

It wouldn't be weird to say, You're pretty aggressive, you know. Inappropriately so, but I'm not complaining. Pulling your chair right up against me. Always standing way too close. Leaning in over my shoulder in silent agreement over the obvious.

There's no harm in smelling nice and being friendly.

Really, in an ideal world I could be vocal about it and deal with the consequences.

The sky

is on fire.

What if

it becomes a game, and
it is all a game, and
it stops being a game, and

Improvements to the world as we know it

Shut the fuck up and do what I say.

At the corner of Nostalgia and Change street/

Your eyes in the rearview mirror; fixed

Jokes made for tears
hugs. home. breakfast-

not watching you sleep at night;
hearing you breathe

Offense turned into compliment

no lists; no demands
no expectations
will always come home to you

to do; not to to overanalyze

Choices

It may be that I could do any one thing
at any given moment

only one thing
out of all those alternatives
is key here

saying yes to something, but
ultimately
saying no to everything else

This will always have been your one thing
as well as mine; at a different time, place
we will have shared the same different thing(s)
together, alone

Feeling wealthy

I can afford to arbitrarily choose in which time zone to spend the day. No amount of money or material possessions can compare to what I have.

Time stands still

Familiar faces attract and push me away simultaneously. I want to move, but can't pick a direction. I'm waiting for an impulse or burst of energy, motivation; anything. Maybe it'll be enough to stand still until I collapse from the fatigue and when I wake up to a new day, I'll know what to do.

It's scary how fast time flies by, so fast that nothing seems to change at all.

I'm scattered all over. I can't be bothered to clean this mess up or look for anything I may have lost in the process.

I've managed to buy the same thing twice due to forgetting about the first time I did it. I've played the same memories over in my head so many times that most of the time it feels like I'm repeating myself. I wish for more than I'm willing to work for, and so much doesn't get done.

Slip-ups

It's incredible how your surroundings impact you.

Sometimes I'm certain it's them speaking out of my mouth instead of me.

Thoughts on urges;

completely destroying everything. [...] how much damage could I really cause by saying something?

I'll inevitably explore unknown waters disregarding any voice of reason whatsoever. This has made me a sad panda in the past, but it has also created countless exciting, life-changing experiences, which seems to be the best excuse I have for my idiotic behavior.

I'll see you all in...
