green_tenedril i will get to know you
one day.
i will walk down your streets and say hello to your friends and your victims and your enemies.
i will dance in your clubs, and talk to your street kids.
i will go into the scary places and meet your punks and your heroin addicts.
i will wander the narrow streets and find a cafe full of your goths.
i will take a small sliver of light with me, which you will not be able to choke out of me.
i will smile at your window prostitutes, and offer them coffee and friendship.
yes, i will get to know you one day.
soon. 		010503

tied to the noose
and you came along
and you cut me loose..."

cocoon Has all the old architecture which Rotterdam doesnt have.
Even the trams are old.
And the trainstation is amazing.

Is full of twists and turns, uneven cobblestones and tourists. 		040430

epitome of incomprehensibility Another sort of "misread" today was thinking the flag with the XXX stood for the red light district. It doesn't. It's the city flag.

But leave it to tourist shops to take advantage of the association and sell little penis keychains with "XXX" down the shafts.

I was walking through narrow curving streets and thinking what to write on blather. "This isn't exactly like any other place I've been," part of my mind offered.

Another part: "Well, of course it isn't *exactly* like any other place. Obviously. I thought you were a writer."

The first point? Good. The second? Unnecessary. I'm already frustrated enough about how to put the damn novel I'm writing into order; I don't need mind_gremlins hinting I'm inherently incapable of it.

Of course I'll be Captain Obvious sometimes. We need a Captain Obvious to lead the troops into less obvious roads. Then she can let us scatter onto various cobblestone paths.

Even if some of us find a restaurant called OMG that serves burgers. 		230520
