running by Angela Thomasi run away. i hide in boston, dc, long island,
california. wherever i can get to and far enough
from here. i want to unplug, disappear, and melt.
i mean, don't get me wrong - it's not like i'm
having another nervous breakdown or anything,
i just want to be alone - away from the city.
new things. hot nights. steamy, passionate kisses.
lusty glances across an unfamiliar bar with smoke
hanging in the air. make-do without the comforts
of home. that look of awe. of fresh and new
in an unfamiliar place. like the first time you
discovered the removable showerhead in your mother's
tub. i want ripe. headiness. waking up in the sheets
and not knowing the scent. lust. mistakes. pleasure. 08/09/2008 Posted on 08/09/2008 Copyright © 2024 Angela Thomas
