i've been reading too many novels; i want to have a great love affair.

tonight everything is beautiful, the lights of the cars on the highway, the shape of the lines, on the road and outlining buildings. a tightness in my chest, a catch of breath in my throat. alive and awake to it all tonight. overflowing with the reality of it all.

cloudy paling orange over a horizon above a city anywhere.

i love these cool, slightly foggy, humid nights.
