away
i'm hoping that in 2.5 years i will be done with tennessee. headed to the west coast. california, oregon, or washington. they say the people are more enlightened in the west. ancestors and people of adventure, courage, and wit. in the west, competition has stretched and caused people to reach their potential. faster pace. sharper minds. move into a house with my russian or go to graduate school when he goes. work as a teacher. my parents will move. then i'll never ever have to come back. i'll have nostalgia, but no one and nothing would call me back. i'm done. leave it all. nothing here anyway. just hate and spite. directed towards me. your negative words achieved their goal. i'm isolated and neglected. go to hollywood, teddy's. go to the redwood forests and the olympic national park. santa rosa plateau. joshua trees. no more humid, brown south. it's all greyish brown. even in the summer. have you seen european green? washington green? this place is never green. i don't want waffle house. i don't want cool springs. not murfreesboro. no town ending in -boro or -ville. out out out.
i'll go back to here, too.
i'll go back to here, too.
