between facial wash and toothpaste

i should probably wash my face and brush my teeth now. just in case i
feel sleepy while i’m sitting here in front of my laptop typing these
words
listening to some dreamy, melancholic, almost suicidal songs because i
feel somewhat hollow and thus i don’t feel like doing anything
else
than indulging myself in this mellow air. i know when i feel sleepy in
this state i will be too lazy to wash my face and brush my teeth.
so maybe i’d better go and do them now. but no i don’t want to.

erin
is back in the house. and there she goes thud thud bam bam again.
banging doors and walking like a little baby elephant. she’s so funny.
it’s
good to have her again here. it’s good to have maggie too. it’s as if
the second semester has begun. though still faint, i can smell it
in the air.

and i feel hollow.

i
can see books scattering on the floor again. i can see me locking up
myself in my room again. gluing my eyes onto the screen of my laptop.
as
if by doing that words will type themselves right into the pages of my
microsoft word document. oh my god. i can see the stress.

and this well within me is getting deeper.

i want to write poems tonight. but i don’t think i can.

and i think i’m falling into the seemingly endless hole now.

yes. it’s time to lie down and stare at the ceiling. i’ll wash my face and brush my teeth when the morning comes.

no. i think i’ll do it now.

yesterday, when agus and i were waiting for the bus – he wanted to go
to the uni and i to LC7 – the 54 bus, notorious for its imagined
punctuality, came along only 10 minutes after we got to the bus stop.
what it meant was: a] i didn’t have to wait for it until my hair grew
white, and b] i didn’t have to wait for it all by myself – mind you, at
that time, the sky’s getting darker and the wind’s blowing mindlessly
and it would really be miserable to be out there alone – as agus could
take the bus to the uni as well. yipppeee! :D
