9 empty wine bottles lined up next to each other-a color parade of past nights. white v neck with high waisted denim shorts. press play. willow smith playing in the background. we discovered our amsterdam air b&b doesn’t have air conditioning. we’ve been staying here for over 2 weeks wondering why it was so ******* hot in here. back to the lion king remake soundtrack. what if we could simply remake our life?
                              get a second go around. cold showers have started to      
         feel good. endless space. discovery in familiar places or motions.
                    press pause. approaching everything as if for the first time.
                                         in fact, we are. nothing is the same. not exactly.
               moments in time can resemble each other, but once a moment
                        passes it’s lost forever like an empty bottle waiting to be
                         thrown away only to turn around with the cork already
                                                       being pulled out of the next one. tastes
        different when it’s not with you. do you ever look up at the night
     sky and think how it’s the same sky someone sees on the other side
                                                                ­                                    of the world?
                                                          ­                                **** we’re trivial.
                                                                ­                        every last one of us.
                                                                ­                                                     but
                                                                ­                   what color would i be?

i’d say
blue
