once upon a time, i wrote some other things

• two green eyes racing towards me in the darkness.
• "hi, it's me."
• "look at that. it looks like an alligator."
• the rain fell hard that night.
• this is mostly about me, but it's also about this other girl
• pitter patter pitter patter
• "going somewhere?"
• cold hand. probably from leaning against the glass.
• from my vantage, there is the sky.
• i painted the sky green this morning.
• watched as the angels slowly disappeared
• "now what did you do that for?"
• "Some stories have no endings."
• he waits for the next train to arrive.
• she checked her watch. she was late, again.
• "we get this all the time in here."
• well. that was unexpected.
• "why do you keep coming here?"
• "excuse me. don't i know you?"
• "do you remember that night, when we were kids?"
• today she woke up as a butterfly
• "i like your dress."
• hand raised to throbbing temples.
• echoing down the empty night street
• "you are being a voyeur"
• i watched her walk away.
• i would rather be anywhere but here.
• the old man turns and glowers.
• "what are you looking at?"
• fell asleep in the air around you
• "how many more tonight?"
• i kicked a dog once.
• and for now, that's just enough.
• I like to hear them scream.
• so that one day, finally
• drip drip drip
• i strolled off the subway today
• "i can't handle this any more," she said.
• you can't have me.
• i missed you too.
• instead of snow.
• she drums her fingers nervously on the table
• phantoms don't make noise.
• the old man huddles in the doorway
• first kiss... almost.
• held there by her touch.
• i walk by the studio whenever i can.
• She doesn't resist.
• i said no more than two words to her.
• when the lights are off
