how special i feel when it's not even my day
when i'm wearing a little bit of black
and you startle me in an all red
i didn't waste my day with you
only by the night
when the recesses come
when it's just the both of us
and our very mundane activities
you break the bubble of my self-absorption
and breathe the zest and encapsulate me in a new energy
one that is so out there
one that seems so old and wise yet still so youthful
this was a night
i would call in the future
those were the days

(positions)
It's not a circle
They say the earth
Is oblate spheroid
A language that my mind seems to not understand
But she just shrugs me off
And tell me to look at an orange
The fruit i mean
I look at the globe
Goddamnit it's not even made of marble
It's just plastic! An inflatable plastic
Where its cheap paint, i can scratch off and
Allow the names of the countries to disappear
Making up a dream where no boundaries exist
because the lines are nowhere to be seen
How then am i supposed to learn
That, yes, the world turns
And the distances are long and wide and meant to be traversed
When all you look at
Is the map
Where you don't even pay attention to the time zones on top
I believe the degrees and the inclination are better understood with a 3D model
Where you don't even recognize that even if
We are looking at the same sun and same moon
Sometimes you will always be ahead
That you are convinced
Time is the same
You tell me
They say the earth
Is oblate spheroid
A language that my mind seems to not understand
But she just shrugs me off
And tell me to look at an orange
The fruit i mean
I look at the globe
Goddamnit it's not even made of marble
It's just plastic! An inflatable plastic
Where its cheap paint, i can scratch off and
Allow the names of the countries to disappear
Making up a dream where no boundaries exist
because the lines are nowhere to be seen
How then am i supposed to learn
That, yes, the world turns
And the distances are long and wide and meant to be traversed
When all you look at
Is the map
Where you don't even pay attention to the time zones on top
I believe the degrees and the inclination are better understood with a 3D model
Where you don't even recognize that even if
We are looking at the same sun and same moon
Sometimes you will always be ahead
That you are convinced
Time is the same
You tell me

what do i eat
what do i want to eat
i ask myself
look at the flaps of my wallet
fumbling and hoping to see a yellow bill
alas, i have instead
the one not in fuschia, but somewhat red
i grimace at the thought
oh food why do i have to want you
even if i cannot get you with what i have now
should i just instead
wait for my pockets to be full
or ask for someone to lend me their shiny little circles
and add them all together
so that i may have a share
of what i really had in mind
in the first place
but what do i really want to eat
is it enough to have much
and then an array of options
completely making me feel even more lost than before
i should have not asked for more
i should have just eaten what i could have
i ask myself
look at the flaps of my wallet
fumbling and hoping to see a yellow bill
alas, i have instead
the one not in fuschia, but somewhat red
i grimace at the thought
oh food why do i have to want you
even if i cannot get you with what i have now
should i just instead
wait for my pockets to be full
or ask for someone to lend me their shiny little circles
and add them all together
so that i may have a share
of what i really had in mind
in the first place
but what do i really want to eat
is it enough to have much
and then an array of options
completely making me feel even more lost than before
i should have not asked for more
i should have just eaten what i could have
