08

i drove for so long the other day, you know
in circles around and around and around in the parking lot.

a crystal castles remix booming.
children watching, fingers locked in those of a parent.

left turn, right turn
forwards, backwards.
i couldn't even breathe.


and out i went onto the street where i was camouflaged by other drivers,
onto the street where i barely existed.

a black mercedes passed me, and i remember this because
it was brand new, and one that i've always liked to look at
and exactly 2 minutes later (it felt longer), a billion cars passed me at the same time and right then i realized my insignificance and
i felt like sobbing.
