it took an hour and a half to get home from work on the bus tonight. interesting crowd. people with matted hair and filthy clothes. pasty colleigates with headphones and polo shirts. girls with too-short skirts and uncomfortable expressions. a man in honest-to-fuck KNICKERS. and people like me, just getting off work, just another day. repeat in mere hours.
I got home and listened to pandora while I watered the plants. buddy holly, the Beatles, van der graaf. Xmas lights. green shiny leaves despite my negligence....
I am fiercely prideful of my seeming frivolity.
"...in a world of apples and kisses and shoes
he wasted his wishes on wishing."
Shel Silverstein
