Sixteen

August comes full circle.

I watch my friends and can see they are wary of autumn. Both the sense of it and the reaping. Bumpy rides ahead for all, but winter whispers promises to be beautiful.

fleets of fleas flee fleetingly.

save yourself

let them abduct you.

save yourself

when no one is looking?

agosto está muerto

Flores! Flores para los muertos!!

Movie quote.

Other Worlds Than This

If there are parallel worlds, then there may exist parallel conversations. Conversations identical to this one may result far differently - with a simple change of inflection, gesture, or intent. We could end up seas apart, watching for an ending that already occurred on another planet, another lifetime. Watching, waiting, wishing, justifying.

May all our dialogues rest in peace.

And all your cows are dead.

Scarecrow, Scarecrow

Alexia brings a scarecrow to life.

someday I would like to whisper this to someone

The thing about crowds I hate
is that they make me realize how average I really am.
The thing about crowds I love
is that to you I am the only one here.

Chicago, you're gorgeous.
