Negra sat.
Prostrate to an expanse.
It wasn’t a wave, or something overwhelming.
It was nothing.
She didn’t get an answer from her when they were hours away from each others glance.
She sure as hell wasn’t going to get one thousands of miles away.
TV on the Radio, Ambulance.
I’m adding another character.
Going to Anadarko, and sweating out there only made it clear that I am in fact an alien, in love.

NEGRA
Send me away, just to call me forth. I repeat, and it’s not as bad each time I wake.
DANTE
I don’t know what you’re talking about. We can get that cigarette later, though. You know, in case you’re afraid of riding with only one hand.
TW: Famous last words? Lemme think here. All right, here we go. Umm… I’m looking down my list. Never have I waltzed to “My Country ‘Tis Of Thee,” nor met anyone who did. Still, it’s a waltz, for it’s written in waltz time.
Negra wasn’t familiar with the silence. Even when she got far outside Manila, the noise would linger.
Negra stopped her engine, she was nearly out of gas anyway.
Walking with the motorcycle, it was just the two of them in passing through southern Oklahoma.

They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
She leaned herself against a fence
Just for a kiss or two
I’m trying to keep up with my mind.
I’m leaving for a month, at the beginning of August. Going to Oklahoma. To New York. To Chicago. Take the train back to Oakland. Bart back to SF.
I’m cramming in Infinite Jest.
I’m cramming in On the Road.
I’m cramming in Altough of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself.
I’m cramming in Magnum Photographers.
I’m sorry that I’m not reading anything by women, or persons of color that have this road theme, not an invitation for recommendations. Thanks.
I’m taking my laptop to edit, to upload/update often.
I’m taking all of my cameras.
I’m working out harder, going Spartan, if you will.
I’ll solicit assistance along the way, so be prepared for that - and for compensation, I’ll remind you of folks that remind you of me that remind you of you.
Here’s to you.
Tuesday Jul 13 08:04amSlow burn. Mama reigns and Guy’s a worthy knight.
