People lie to each other all the time. Have you ever noticed that? Today I was walking down central and this very drunk very slurred voice asked for a few dollars. The guy swore he wouldn't spend it on booze, as he tipped over on his side. I said i didn't have any money. He looked in my eyes when he said he wouldnt spend it on booze and i looked into his eyes when i said i didn't have any money, though i could feel my laundry quarters pressing into my thigh in my jeans pocket. But somehow our lies were acceptable to both of us. Why? How many times do you lie in a day?

i haven't been able to sleep in a week. i'm not stressed am i?

i lie in bed and listen to the rain, and the steady breathing next to me and i wonder why i could spend the whole day waiting for this opportunity to sleep, yet wasting it with my eyes wide at the ceiling.

i tried to read. i even tried tv.

last night i just woke him up and made him talk to me until there was light outside. I told him my secrets and he told me mine and we giggled until morning.

now i feel like i'm walking in a dream. Reminds me of edward nortons character on fightclub.
