i find myself
in a liquor store drenched in neon
come out with beer in a plastic bottle.
i love how i hate being alone.
i wallow in it
spinning in the middle of intersections
while school children whiz by like gazelles.
they laugh.
giggle like giants in a world too small for them.
i'm here. i remind myself. smaller than a tear drop.
falling from the giant's eye.
the skyline here is always a steady heartbeat.
poked with neon crosses and high rise needles
like acupuncture
or emotional climaxes
into which people crawl and hide.
and well, drama has its place
especially when the soul floats like bricks
heavy from histories and historical fiction
and the only thing that separates us
is how we handle our everyday
how we blow things out of proportion
and mix spice with rice wine
so we can throw up two or three or four fingers
that make different signs that people
have been all too acquainted with
as we drown and cut to black.
imitating sunlight is necessary i guess
sometimes i feel like if i jumped
into the city through my window
i'd splatter like a tear drop
and dissolve into the skyline.
with one boiling question.
how do people find each other
in this melodramatic maze?
our tv lives.
