me and the world, we love each other

"it's not the world that f*kked up; it's the people!" so said the half-blind leaf collector guy to me as i bounded home yesterday, donny hathaway in my headphones and his audience filling in for him on the chorus of "you've got a friend," via the free library where birth of a nation was on hold for someone else but i got persepolis and 1968, and metropolitan bakery where i picked up an app…

i don't know if that's my sentiments exactly. i'm spoony w/ the world, but y'know i'm okay with the people too - in fact, i decided i'd even be ready to forgive the people (humanity) for this election as long as they forxssake forestall septa calamity - g'bleshu septa btw; i was tempted to give them money today ($81) because they gave it to me, along with my peace of mind, walked right into the suburban station passenger services offices in purpleplaidpjpants and they handed it over, and i walked out into love park, where the x-rated thingy is now green, shouting "yeah, a tunnel!" and was really tempted to give my love to the gyro cart guy, but instead we went (sorry, "ran") to whole foods, where you can get so full on samples that brunch becomes beside the point.

oh, i should explain - because i missed my wallet the day prior, and it wasn't at alyssa's (where i sat in full-lotus in her red room and read pmp and wilco lyrics) and it wasn't at tara's (yet another not-rushy-enough rush-to-work lunch) and apparently it wasn't at the pma either (where we visited henri and rogier and made friends with the insect gods and car-coffin and medusa-mirror), but it must have just been sitting on my r3 seat. and now it's in me pocket again. therefore, please save septa.

i wanna be adored more than you'll ever know
and i'm going overboard with a capital O
