it's so hot in Paris

that all the shutters are open tonight
turning the city from grey to warm yellow
the swallows are screaming
as they intertwine and play
and hunt in the sky
it's so hot in Paris tonight
the cat calls on the street
are barely murmurs

it's gotta be the heat

Street Hassle
I wanna go Gonzo
walk the wire
call up randomly
smoke and drink
scream from the pier
until the words
just type themselves
out

Vitamin D

Riiiiight. Why am I complaining?

I'm lucky enough not to have to get up at 6am for my job at 8am.
I'm sitting in front of my laptop at home - and could wear pjs if I wanted to.
It's not snowing.
It's warm out.
I am on vacation.
I am healthy with all my limbs and loves.
And, this was my view 5 minutes ago. (So I retract any depression and am upping my Vitamin D cod oil pills.)
