paralax999

i'm outside on my bike in the cold, playing tag with cars and coughing up my lungs. and i realize how insulated i am from the world;
plugged into my shuffle,
cellie hitting my leg,
glasses on to keep the flotsam and bits out of my eyes.

it actually made me ill, all this artifice to keep things out.
so i unplugged.
turned off.
and removed.

and there i was in the world. I could hear dogs barking
horns honking,
girls yelling,
wheels spinning,
and the quiet of the wind and stars.

did you know that stars come in greeen?

just me, legs furiously burning, running red lights and laughing for no reason and for no one but me.
