if we can let go
we can positively grow
and one day we'll bloom

**
like the summer wind
he came and took you away
fucking summer wind

only i can save the lives that blink within this canyon

the commuters make their way to and from the capital of pennsylvania, like blood too and from your beating heart. i watch from my 3rd floor window as the color of each motor vehicle, bounding across the market street bridge, blends into a brownish-gray. i think it's time to start riding my bike to work, it's a haul but i could use the exercise.

the cold is a vacuum, chilly morning air extracts the breath right out of your chest. my red and black lumberjack (with a hat to match - - thanks biggie) makes the 20 mile an hour wind gusts from the susquehanna seem like a 1200 btu air conditioning unit on low. it's not by any means cold it happens to be chest tightening-ly frigid.

i make up my own words, like tightening-ly. i feel like the added "-" makes the quote, unquote word more believable. my posts are becoming to get shorter, maybe there really is nothing going in my life to write about other than work, commuting, and relationship issues (minus the relationship, ha).

either way, i'm happy where i am at. i hope that you are too.

the quiet things

it's bright outside this afternoon. my view is of the northeast's greatest theme park. the line of trees, that runs along the perimeter of the grounds separates the working from the vacation-enjoying american's and tourists alike, is swaying in the windiness that has defined this entire winter.

the window blinds spin shut in the director's office. my view is cutoff from me and the day is now highlighted by the hum of florescent lights and the clicking, tapping, hesitation between strokes and eventual pounding of keyboards and clicking of the left mouse button (i only include the left mouse button because currently there would be three of us who know what the right mouse button does, it's interesting how many differences there are between 20 year olds and 40+ year olds). let's not forget the array of various voices that i can identify without even looking at the exclaimer's face.

shit, it's time to get back to work.
