white city took a friend of mine

rachel left an away message tonight
"rip elliott xo"
i had forgotten (thank you by the way) so i put on headphones and went for a walk
i guess i was kinda paying tribute
i decided i was going to listen to every song of his that i have in chronological order
i just walked
for so long
to nowhere
to get cigarettes but that was hardly a destination
baby britain
oh god
and i didn't get tired
or fatigued i should say
cause my eyes started to close after a while
but i just walked around and skipped around mission viejo with my hands
crossed
behind my back and every
once and a while i would
raise my hands
in the air to sing as loud as i
could "DOOOON'T GOOOOOOO HOME ANGELINA"
i must have looked completely insane to the people who were driving around la paz at
3:30
in the morning
"who is that asshole in the middle of the street waving his hands around?"
"go to bed faggot" one guy said driving by
that one was really funny
i really can't explain what that whole walk felt like
it reminded me of how it felt when i used to be spontaneous
but i was so distracted by
god knows what
but whatever it was
it took up all the chairs in my head
and all of the things that had been bothering me for the past year had to stand up in the back
i even tried to think and dwell upon those things that made me sad but nothing would
stick
i don't get it
seriously what the fuck i don't get it
how does that work
the only thing that stayed in my head the whole walk was
independence day
independence day
