Wonderful

I got high again today. Not the way most people do. Sometimes I need to be above it all. Sometimes I need to look down on things and wonder what they look like when no one looks at them. The sirens in the distance scream like children, piercing the night like a safety pin through fabric. I wish I could live like this. Where there is always a nice breeze to kiss me on the cheek, and tell me it will be better no matter how Fucked up things look. Where I could see whats happening. I could always be there. And people would notice me staring at them, and they could gaze back. And every now and then they could smile. They don't have to, but they just do it any way. With out force, Without fear of rejection. How wonderful that would be! And maybe, just maybe, One of them could walk up here to join me. And we could watch the sun wander off. And the concrete mountains would breathe with us. Breath by Breath we could watch the world pass just under out feet. Just under out feet. How wonderful that would be! And to every one else, we would just be two young kids on a parking garage. But to us, we would be invincible. And we could wait up for the sun to come home. And watch the world come back to life. And not one person would have the tiniest notion that we beat the statistics. That we lived forever in just a few short hours. How wonderful that would be.
