On a warm summer night filled with the waft of ***** and beer, surrounded by the fears of every corner rat begging for change, immersed in the aura of being alone when anything but. I envision being like a caterpillar growing into a butterfly, an overcooked metaphor, but fitting cause I want it. I imagine leaving these streets and growing big, throwing down these cigarettes and walking out the door, working hard until I am hardly working, living life to the fullest. As I look out into the endless jungle, the concrete trees, that can only be described with another overworked metaphor. The sun begins to rise the rats scatter to the dark, and the lions begin to walk the streets. I looked down like a newborn monkey, put out my cigarette, and go to bed. "Tomorrow"
