again I
have this almost painful need to write and draw and sing and scream
and once
again I am a prisoner in my own mind and my own boundaries
today I
spent half an hour staring at a spoon and maybe I could have done it that last
night in brugge as then I was so sure nothing is real
I feel like
screaming, hitting, crying, running till I am too tired to think
I never
feel this way while traveling
I can’t
recognize myself in the mirror
wearing
dress and make-up and stuff
and I am
not sure I like what I see
when I get
‘home’ first thing I will be throwing away half my clothes
and reading
all the books I bought but never read
and
ordering Rayuela in spanish cause it’s the purest poetry I’ve ever seen
I’ve been
loving strangers this year, but yet again isn’t everybody?
I fall
asleep while reading in the afternoon and dream about running up a hill and Ale
saving me from a speeding car, whatever that means
you’re not
really dead if nobody knows you’re dead
when I’m
ready to die, I’ll disappear
I’ll go to new zealand
and never come back
I am
getting dizzy
you know
the feeling you get in a library or a bookstore
wanting to
read everything, right now, at once, to the last page, to smell and touch every
book, to understand every character, to feel every line of poetry, to relive
every story, and not be able to decide where to start, and feeling a little bit
like crying, but mostly inspired….
well,
that’s exactly how I feel when I look at a map
right now I
just want to write but my thoughts are so scattered
I picture
them as millions beads on the endless glass floor of time and space
and I never
seem to be able to organize them in any way
that’s why
I don’t write anything with a plot
I can
always try stream of consciousness but, come on, people don’t understand or like
even Faulkner, and he is a genius, so you’ll be shutting this page pretty soon
few days
ago I found out I share a birthday with Kerouac, how cool is that
whatever,
somebody finally put a password on that wifi, that’s the main reason I’m even
thinking these
