tonight a man walked past me toward the bus
and i heard him say goodbye to someone on the phone
in ukrainian
it made me feel special,
like i knew a secret
no one else could hear
thinking about mountains
and wide open expanses
of grass and light and air
and sky
suddenly i am struck by the urge to sit around and watch french movies all day
aside:
sometimes my nose is really senstive
today the whole world smelled like gasoline
tonight i think maybe i will dream about rivers
