*******

Please forgive me upcoming random posts..they do not represent how I am really feeling at the moment.

Someone is after me, but staying at bay simultaneously.

They know about this place, so I rather not communicate with them through this medium.
I won't say when this refrain will be over,
you (the reader) will just know.

Today I walked from the grocery store in the sweltering humidity of Philadelphia's grip.
With a new pair of work shoes to my left and a gallon of milk to my right, I pushed through the heat wave.

I felt my handle on the gallon of milk slipping very quickly, so I threw it up to my chest, feeling the chill emanate my skin. It was a great relief, albeit a quick one.

And then it hit me.

I miss trivial pleasures like that.

The true little things in life.

Shade under a big tree, blocking the Sun's rays.
A kind gesture added to a compliment.

When did satisfaction become overridden by my pursuit of material goods (and I count money as one too)?
I do not know.
I do not want to know,
I only wish to return.

Later Days, Longer Nights
