plum store

[scarletxbraids]

for some reason today
i had this awful black feeling walking to class
and i felt like going to a cubicle somewhere to throw up
and i couldnt think of what to do
finally i decided to buy fruit
i thought fruit would make me better
and the small convenience store on campus had this very dingy fresh foods counter at the back
and they had plums that were practically prunes they were so wrinkly and refrigerated
and peaches big ones and so tough
and they were so pathetic
but i got them anyway
and it made me feel better
i dunno

we had my aunt's friends come over and cook,
and ricky too, came to cook,
for ricky's birthday. i was really happy for a while, it reminded me of christmas

i wish i had an older brother growing up. i think things would've been better--different.
