intermission

alberta prairies are green. so much open space makes me helpless. hopeless. the blue skies blanket. the sunset kisses the horizon. i'm blind and cant see. what a pretty gorgeous view. there is no city traffic. no crosswalks. no parking meters. no trash or screeching cars, c-trains, smog. nothing but the sound of crickets on the pond. coyotes in the distance. on the deck is the best spot. take a photo. capture a moment in time forever. it will last. time passes. who's keeping track. i love this place. it reminds me to remind myself of myself. take a moment. moments don't last forever; pictures do; my parent's house. mosquitoes are vampires any time of the day. can't use enough repellent. it's 9 on a thursday night. i'm on a bus to edmonton. no tv. no radio. thank goodness for my headphones and notebook. distract me from 3 hours travel. i miss my parents. my sisters. my brothers. my niece. is this how rock stars feel on tour? the sun disappears behind the gray clouds. the sign says 'welcome to Leduc'. 20 minutes to go. I miss my 4 dogs.

the unplugged radio still plays my song

music is the only way to speak to you when I cannot find the brilliant lines to say

mine is 'this is whats on my mind' vs. your 'this is what's on the line'.

It's 2 am and I'm still awake writing the first thing that comes into my head
My coffee went cold and no short of fantastic, its time for bed.

I don't think I should be hitting repeat on my CD,
Turn it off, shut it off and go to sleep.

This is my addiction that keeps me from destroying myself in the best possible way
I'll find you in the best possible way you don't know how to escape.
