I think someone must have snuck some love potion #9 in my oj this morning, because I’m all feisty. I think i just like everyone on the planet today, and it’s a nice feeling. I’m naturally high on springtime. I think I’ve overdosed on the color green. The music in my mind is wet and thrumpy and bright. The possibilities are endless. Oooh la la.
So now i’m totally in love, and all I want to do is hop in the jeep and go, go, go until I can make up for all the lost time and regret and stagnation I’ve been tolerating for so long. Tear up the horizon line a little bit. Let wanderlust have it’s way with me. Scream at the sky and such.
One thousand nine hundred and sixty six miles away from here…..not so very far.
