...i had just moved back to
san jose and the suburbs really hit me hard, having just sailed
out of the urban liveliness of beautiful oakland california with
its epic streets that scattered up to one hundred and thirty three
avenues... and i found myself here, in san jose, pondering how
people drove everywhere with out really knowing where they were
going.
hell i'm projecting...
i didn't know where i was going, yet alone did i know what i was
going to do. i had the memory of a cute co-worker lingering
|
along with the
night that we both told each other secrets of our dangerous pasts
with the guide of a late night gypsy reading our cards and the chinese
food in the car under the encandescent san francisco air.
i wish i could write letters to people saying that things will
be okay and that there is hope.
i wouldn't watch them sailing into the suburban flood of apathy
and we wouldn't lose our ship across the dark modern waters just
because we wanted a little fun and a little escape.
