I could run away to you, world. drink in your every scent, the dust the hurt. backpedal through Venetian streets, high-five Buddhist monks, paddle softly through the Dead Sea, eat Vietnamese fish with blind children, pound out piles of dough in back-alley German bakeries, kiss the single root of an aspen tree and post it all online. grinning like a devil, silently screaming *my life is better than yours my life is better than yours*

The Traveler and His Boasting
I could run away to you, world. drink in your every scent, the dust the hurt. backpedal through Venetian streets, high-five Buddhist monks, paddle softly through the Dead Sea, eat Vietnamese fish with blind children, pound out piles of dough in back-alley German bakeries, kiss the single root of an aspen tree and post it all online. grinning like a devil, silently screaming *my life is better than yours my life is better than yours*
