Night, and why it is magic
Ususally when i hang out with the regular group around town, we try to be noticed, we try to push the limits, and we try to make a scene and make things awkward. We want you to disapprove or shoot us the 'WTF' glance. We mess with each other, we attack each other, we don't really talk about anything that'll ever matter again. But as the day dies down, and we're all at the cemetery or the playground at night, there's no one to mess with, freak out, or be stupid for. And the conversation becomes one of the most amazing, meaningful things ever. The meaning of life, the secret behind a lot of things, separation from the machine, etc. We talk about love, lust, dating, friendships, and the difference between natural attraction and forced preconceptions of the way relationships should work. And even if there's no one around to see us in the day, we don't talk like that. Only at night. And the freedom of night added to the freedom of the people i'm with; what with their apathy and general male-ness; make everything easy to talk about and every problem discussable, which is rarely possible for me. I wish i could stay up all night in the park with these guys and just talk until we fall asleep in the grass.
