My date kissed me on the cheek today.
There is nothing I love more than that kind of moment of innocence.

My boss felt the need to talk down to me today.
He won't do it again.

My headshots were re-touched today.
I had to ask them to keep some of my frizzy hair, and the mole on my shoulder bone.

The phonecall from you scared the shit out of me today.
You've been uttering gibberish for days now, and if I could find you, I would hold you so close until you're better.

My thoughts about you (a different you) changed today.
You will never change, you're not capable. I know we're not fair-weather friends, but you keep pummeling me with tidal wave after tidal wave. You have fun holding my head under water but you're not logical enough to realize that you're drowning me.

I thought of you (another different you) endlessly today.
You terrify me. Make me barely able to stand in my heels. But I'm a glutton for terror. The fight or flight response is my best friend. I agape/eros the endorphins you send through me.

I talked to an old lady from New Jersey today.
She found me inspirining, enigmatic, and she wished me luck in my future endeavors (it sounds like I'm going to kayak around the world or something).

A man let me go through the turnstile first, even thouh he had the riht of way today.
I think he was being kind to the hot mess that I was.

I redifined integrity today.
Watch out.

I listened to my roommate scream at her cats today.
Word.

I saw the sadness in your soul today.
Pardon me.

I listened to the static today.
Just an empty image emanating.

I feel the pain between my ribs today.
It's from trying to grasp my breath.

This year is going to be different. You will not tether me.
