#7

love my neighborhood. And my that turn of phrase I of course mean the 100 feet or so between my front door and the subway entrance on the corner. There's a pizzaria (that i've been to...once...a bodega (which is my happiness)...a dry cleaners--where a creepy man leers at me in the AM...a new unisex salon run by a chinese lady who's always sweeping and never cutting hair, and a chinese takeout where, judging by the fact that you can't see past the front counter, I think they've got all the neighorhood's runaways slaving. And then there are 3-5 brickface buildings with stoops and 2-3 stories plus the basements...but it's the people I love. I.e. I walked out of my apt this morning and the garbage man at his truck said good morning...(disclaimer: i'm pretty sure this was because on walking out of my building i released my hair from its bun and tossed it. my hair is very sexy wehn i do that. and i think he liked my sexy hair. / end disclaimer). Then, walking past the brick buildings, there's an older man who sells homemade bags by hanging them on the facade of his building. His young son/grandson was standing at an open screened window singing Twinkle Twinkle...Cute. Then, walking to the train, a man emerged from teh corner entrance of the subway singing Glory Glory Hallelujia...Howe...I think Howe wrote it. It's where Steinbeck got "the grapes of wrath".

Boo local train. boo.

German Barbarella--specifically Die Macht Der Schwarzen Koenigin is the oddest thing to listen to while looking around on the train...but strangely comforting...

I think this little japanese woman stole her shirt from an african bazaar.

Dear Person,
Saw someone who looked like you today. reminded me that tomorrow is two weeks. charge up your cellphones for a let down. Also, I was reminded that you're coming soon. why? to piss me off? No. In fact, I'm not the point of this trip at all...Hope you're not actually expecting to see me. I have plans with friends. Not people who can't get their act together.
Sorry. didn't mean to be mean necessarily. I really do like you but right after things started getting good, they fizzled...and so now...i'm stuck...and i'd rather be hanging with my friends.

where is my train?

WHY would you paint your toenails SHREK-green? did you go to Home Depot to match that, or has Universal gone to a new level?

I will never understand women (some my age) with the same awkward fat rolls I have (some smaller, some bigger) who don't seem to own a shirt that DOESN'T cling to the fat. It's not cute. And I know you're uncomfortable as I am. So buy a bigger shirt. Accept your size. Cute clothes DO come in bigger sizes!

I wish I had the time to describe everyone in my third of the car right now.

You idiot. I'm glad you fell and i'm glad i got to see it.
Got Drunk?

Biggest brown eyes
Beauty your mother will never see
in the mirror
Nose too big
Hands too small
Your face--reminder to your mother that
daddy wouldn't marry
Alone she strides in color
with you
Her music she will pass onto you.

Your thighs are skinnier than mine. So get your semi fat ass of that seat and let the sweating hard-working fat MTA employee sit down. ass.
