I wake up to acid rain and a door half open.
The sun is shining.
I guess its time to get out of bed.
I put on a sweater with open seams.
The color violet.
Which I like, because it sounds like violent.
I love the smell of humidity and dirt.
I sink my hands into the ground and call it by its name.
I spend the afternoon with a toothpick picking mud from under my fingernails.
I never answered your text message.
I didn't want to talk.
All communications will now be done through carrier pigeons.
Don't ask my why, I simply decided it would be so.
My lips are pale but I can't remember what cold feels like.
The absense of heat.
I just feel too warm.
I'll talk to you tomorrow
After I'm done drowning in the ocean.
This can't be right....
Maybe I should stop writing.
Maybe I'll feel more like myself tomorrow.
Oops!
Oops, you forgot something.
