"Hey that looks like it over there"
"Actually Fred that's a factory"
I think I need to skate more if I expect to keep up with anyone on rollerblades. My feet were killing me...maybe something to do with dragging Kelsey unecessarily over bridge and under pass that we could have just gone around. We were honked at over five times yesterday...can't people learn to share the road?
We then met Alicia at the movies where we saw...er...talla...tall...that one. How was it? Well, let's just say it put Kelsey and me in mind of The Graduate. It did have its moments, and every time there was a funny bit the three of us would simultaneously explode with laughter (while utter quiet reigned elsewhere in the theatre).
"You taste like America."
"Thank you."
Alicia had us cracking up with images of Kelsey's future as a bartender, or more specifically our bartender ("The usual, Kaj?"), and Kelsey made it quite obvious that she should like to take over my room. After which we walked Alicia almost all the way home. It was beautiful talking in the dark, but the best part was tearing down the street in my socks. There can truly be nothing else like breaking free and running solo, like that moment when you know you have no need of fear.
Kelsey and I turned back, going back to my place. We were forty minutes late for her mother, but we would rather have been later...those steps up to my door were very difficult. After all, who wants to return to the real, the empty world, when in the dark and the quiet I felt so at ease that I managed to say some half profound things, things that made sense and that I would not shudder upon remembering?
Let's do that again.
Fear not the fallacy of that which we call true.
Summer. Summer smells of ocean and thunderstorm, of running barefoot beneath the orange lamps and the stars. Quieter than peace sings the rich voice of reclusive, distant memory, but Present is (and this unusual) beautiful even that memory is inferior.

You're right, who honestly wants to go back to the real world - the empty world where the only thing that waits for us there is misery? I don't...so go ahead, do that again. It honestly does not make a difference. I've come to learn that no matter how much you try to divert yourself from indulging in a dream world's fantasies, you do it anyway. And once you've finished your lifetime supply, all that's left is a dry, empty canteen of nothingness.
