I gave up the love of my life, for my love of life, not knowing the two were more intertwined than I believed.
As I walked out this morning to buy cigarettes, I saw this girl sitting on a railing. Her hair was long and straight and she was on the phone and smoking. The awkward curve of her body and the way she ignored the passers by was beautiful. In the ten thirty sunlight, she looked like a dream.
When I walked back, she turned to look up and I saw her heavily made up face as red and ripe as a tomato in the sunlight. My feet became uncomfortable trying to maneuver in too big Birkenstocks and all I wanted to do was go home.
