And confused is the state of nostalgia, the longing in a breath of fresh air. I miss my best friend, my family, kinsfolk and foe. I miss my dollar bills and McDonald's days, my whore-ass acquaintance, and nights spent on the telephone into early hours of the morning. I miss the smell of coconut shampoo when I welcome the scent of sunscreen; miss the feeling of fingers over my eyes ready to shout out 'Surprise'. Most of all I miss the city lights, the night I sat and stared off the balcony, wondering if lost in the clouds and dust I'd feel at home.
More than this bedroom, more than this laptop, more than this sideways lamp and the glisten of plastic possessions. Miss the feeling of normality, of security, of somewhere familiar. When the former becomes the present, and the latter becomes the stairway to heaven, I turn my head the other way. The green, green, green -- fluorescent green of that sweatshirt and eyes so blue they could drown a ship or two. Long, lengthy lashes, and sex hair. Wear that damn sex hair like you've never wondered whether I was a virgin or not.
To clarify, even if it is none of your business, not only am I highly disinterested in relationships, I am also highly disinterested in iterating a full-out discussion of my sex life, or lack thereof. So here's the real question, "Are you fucking high?"
Did you just run off and snort a line off the slut's stomach because your father died, or did you shoot up in the back alley behind Safeway to relax a bit, because your girlfriend was feeling a little social tonight?
And here we are, confused, is this state of nostalgia.
