i wandered around the sculpture gardens with one of my closest friends & roommates, whom i’ve been neglecting to spend time with. to be honest i’ve been lacking time for everyone & everything other than school & work. i had the most beautiful mushroom trip where my mind was just drawing never-ending images of my beautiful friends’ conversations. joe & i laid staring at the ceiling while nate & martha made love stoned in the room next door. i mapped out my troubles & realized they’re so much smaller than i had built them up to be. wherever i’m supposed to go, i will end up.
I’ve memorized all the fish in the sea
I’ve memorized each opportunity strangled
and I remember awakening one morning
and finding everything smeared with the color of forgotten love
and I’ve memorized
that too
