i asked bryan to meet me at the bookstore after work.
he came.
we walked around for a long while
weaving in and out of aisles
looking at different books
seperating
rejoining
seperating again
i ran into lacey as well
after awhile, he bought 5 books for himself and 1 for me.
the elephant vanishes, haruki murakami
i bought him taco bell
then we went back to his place-
circa survive blue sky noise
has become the soundtrack to these days with him
constantly playing in the background
we've learned all the lyrics
we sing along
he sings along
i enjoy hearing him sing.
anyways,
we get home
change into our pj's
and settle into the couch
smoke
drink
watch things on hulu or youtube
or maybe a movie
then, we fall asleep.
uncomfortably, this time, on the couch.
his ass as my pillow.
i always end up moving to the bed
and letting him stretch out on his couch.
morning comes.
he's up before i am
so he sneaks over and throws things at me from around the door.
he proceeds to jump ontop of me and shower me with
punches
some hurting more than others.
i refuse to move
so he brings out the bat.
he strikes my bellybutton ring
and i am up.
we settle back into the couch
and read
one hour or two
of just reading
circa survive in the background.
this morning, though-
we had the neighbor's piano playing in the background
i fall in and out of sleep
he wakes me up by rubbing his feet in my face.
now i'm home
cooking curry
and thinking about how dangerously used to this life i'm becoming
it's terrifying.
my best friend is leaving me
all i have left is this guy
and this friendship
this routine.
this job.
