"We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives." -Toni Morrison
I care too much what others think of me. Why I don't know I can't change.

I think we only get a little magic. People spend all their lives wishing for love only to find they needed the magic to make it last.

waste of magic
I am laughing, not beautiful, tears squeezed out, snorting and hiccupping as I gasp for breath. Perhaps it is beautiful for its truth. Sailing faster and faster, faster than I can think or breathe or scream to the dusty corners of the universe. He swears his eyes are mysterious and I peer into them to check, but I know they are not for I fear the unknown. Mid-air, questioning and pulling back to save myself but it is too late, I have lost control. He watches as I sit on the floor singing loudly as if I were alone. Then he joins in and I am not alone. Where am I going What am I doing Who even am I If only I knew... Sunshine and fingers laced together, I smile a small, small smile and give in. He smiles back. In this world people are nothing. Less than nothing. Nothingless. But he whispers in my ear and I am something.

lost control
Wish I were there. Why? I dunno, I just love the highway at night. Why? There's something about that light green red yellow specks of humanity because, in the end, what more are we than specks? Humans, moving through the night speeding faster and faster until everything stands still under a blanket of thick silence and blurred stars. And our lives, our souls, escape through the windows into the blur of the green and the red and the yellow, stretched in the sky with the stars. ... Oh. Y'know? Yeah, I know.
