It's Disorienting

every time I sleep here, all my dreams are about being awake here. walking around your apartment, talking to you, or my sister, or the president, or a lion.
I always wake up confused.

a stack of books, duh

the fort idea was alright, except everyone filled the forts with polaroids and feathers, and their beautiful cats and bicycles, and their darlings.
because, look at you! my love, you're so gorgeous i want to tack a blanket to the wall and take a hundred pictures of you here with these seashells i like and the cats.
because she was trying to find the box with the buttons in it, and couldn't, and then she walked around for ten minutes asking him to help her before realizing he was outside on the roof for no reason.
or because when he knocked over her lamp while he was propping up the mattress, he went to get a new lightbulb and found her saving a spider from the shower.

A list of all the things

You know how people all say the same things? Like, "Oh I guess that means it's free!", "This is your big sale for the day!", "You look like you need something to do!", "Hell yeah I'll drink a beer, just as soon as i finish this triathlon" etc. etc.
I forgot how great working here on Sundays is. I get to resent people for coming in and interrupting Don Quixote.
I glare through the window at the people who look like they might be on their way in, and they act like they forgot something in their car and walk back across the street.
I might be projecting a little bit.
Pinback is on again, and it's almost Persian New Year and I'm all coffee buzzed and it's weird how things are so different right now than a year ago when I was doing the exact same thing.
It's like people all saying the same thing over and over but i get to react differently each time.
"HAHAHahaha NO it's not free! That's so funny you would say that! Free... haha, you wish!!"
"Yeah, twelve cents, I guess I can go home now"
"I know, I've been waiting all day for you to come in"
"Just call it quits.. I have pretzels!"

like giant fake laughing at people who say boring things because they get so thrown off.
like boys who wear cardigans but like their rosy-cheeked friends even more.
like receiving pretentious french film text messages and responding with, "have you ever seen space jam?"
like you because you don't act like you're all complicated and i really appreciate it.
