The view from the roof of the building of the dentist that I hooked up with on Grindr yesterday.

Along the Seine

(No quote because I spent the day by myself and literally didn't talk to anyone)

smells the same no matter where you are


"Who Is That Guy Drinking a Bottle of Rose by Himself?"


Who will I become?

Who will I end up with?

What will I end up doing with my life?

How will I ever be financially independent?

Who are my friends?

Does everyone feel this way?

Where is my home?

"Something True"


When you go into your bathroom
And you forget which toothbrush is yours, 
It is almost impossible to distinguish your toothrush by sight--
But the moment you put it in your mouth
You will know if it's yours or not.

"Where At Least I Know I'm Free"



Things that such about Europe:

You can't get free wifi everywhere.

You can't get coffee to-go everywhere.

There are no burritos.

The metros aren't air-conditioned.

No one really likes you if you are American.

Getting Ready to Go

"Knowing and feeling are two different things--and feeling is what counts." - My book.


The United Nations hates trees.



"Commuting Alone"



What a wonderful thing
When a baby chooses
To be fascinated by you.

So wonderful,
Until something more interesting comes along.

Like it's mother
Or a dog.

Like light 
Passing through trees
And warming your face
As you drive by
On a train.

"Left At Intermission"



On this Labor Day
I'm in Geneva
Watching Andre Gavrilov
Play Chopin.

What was I doing
Last Labor Day?

What will I be doing
Next Labor Day?

The mind needn't drft
Very far
And I'm thinkin',
"Play something about love."

Behind closed eyes.

The shadows of clouds 
On mountian tops.

Hearing rain.

I am a land mermaid.
