Lost like Angeles

Eventually we all arrive. And usually

"we are no longer ourselves.

Each will know his own.

We have been aided, inspired, multiplied.”

-Deleuze & Guaitari’s A Thousand Plateaus “Introduction: Rhizome”

 

It may be 5'oclock somewhere but I refuse to drink

anything other than the nirvana that surrounds me.

“I have felt homesick my whole life”    

 –Kurt Cobain

yet I have always had a home.
It is not the bricks, the buildings, or  the bedrooms that define us.
It is the girl who reads through the night because she knows the limitations of time.
The boy who runs because he knows that staying stationary is the leading cause of death.

 

The world will always breed wanders.

 The journey in itself is the destination but in the destination we gain oblivion,
if only for a moment.

If only you could realize  these moments are enough.

 My only wish is for you too to feel infinite.
To stand in a room full of strangers and understand them, better than you could ever understand yourself,

to drive alone, on the highway,
and realize the significance in loneliness
and the inevitability of it all.

 

"Loneliness has followed me my whole life.

Everywhere.

In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere.

There's no escape.

I'm God's lonely man." -Taxi Driver


 

 

 

In the hours before sunrise,
most parents hope their children are never awake for,

I eventually arrived.

Staring at the ocean,
my
insignificance

created
the horizon.
