there's a hippie girl waiting for me
in a coffee shop a few blocks up the road.
she has no idea im not coming.
it's fun pretending to be someone else entirely
assuming a new role, backstory, character development
it's like being an actor, except there's no camera capturing
my performance, no crew writing my perfect li[n]es.
so there's a hippie girl in a coffee shop,
and i'll meet her there in a few minutes
and she'll believe that she's met the real me.
meanwhile, that coward can be found hiding.
don't ask where- I'm still looking for him myself.
