I want to stop falling back on blood, bones, breath, water, and shimmering stone. The sci-fi entwined in the concept of self to the point where I don&#8217;t have friends anymore. Cool sweet strangers, I love thee like pixelation, sweep me off my feet. It&#8217;s worse when I see them on the street. My eyes telling me that <i>that<\/i> god-damnit is how they would <i>move<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Honey intentions, it&#8217;s alright. This is therapy, love. I take this word and that question and make it my own to heal you with. I don&#8217;t have to get involved in your little joy. I don&#8217;t intend to. The two way street is horrid in it&#8217;s simplicity. It is sublime to be wanted and not needed later, if only for ten minutes.

The theory and plan that live inside me are so inadequate for stories that it&#8217;s laughable.

They blinked, unable to focus their eyes through the wavering air rising off the tarmac. &#8220;Of all the places in the world to visit, I chose this city.&#8221; A painful glare coalesced into an approaching white mini-truck on fat orange tires. &#8220;Dear lord, they must be kidding.&#8221; The driver stepped out, ignoring the passengers for his headphones that had apparently slipped out of place, his long braided hair caught in the wires.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People crept quietly on cats paws raised in defense of noise in defensively the film reel will catch hesitation basic betrayal in the street car line I have key words I need to expand.
