“I Love My Boyfriend” by Princess Chelsea. Closing my eyes, thinking of her. Uneven walks on cobblestone. Coming out of a parallel park. A long time with a straight face. “Child Psychology” by Black Box Recorder. Leaves discoloring and recoloring. Loud music to cover up loud street sounds. I was happy being quiet. Shoe half-glued together. “Sullen Girl” by Fiona Apple. Testing my limits. Young swans with dirty coats. Shallow river leading to the bay. “Playground Love” by Air and Gordon Tracks. Day dreams on the bus. Well-fed pigeons and seagulls: my peers. Moss so green and deep, it’s cemented. Loud bars and head-banging. Love is all, all my soul. “Her Hippo” by Dry Cleaning. We can all rebuild. “Glory Box” by Portishead. Dance is memory. A sudden spurt of rain. Dance is medicine, like a lullaby, dance is sleep. Power to the insomniac. “4 Morant (Better Luck Next Time)” by Com Truise. Stairs to the streets, to the gutters, to the sea. Leaves discoloring and recoloring.
