Chasing Brooklyn
I'm listeningto the new Killers CDwhen Goodnight, Travel Well comes on. Dark.Eerie.Sad.The room gets cold.The light on my desk flickers. He's here. He loved The Killers.I sit there, knowing he's listening too. I close my eyes, remembering,wanting it to be different, hating the world cause it's not. When the last note fades, the room warms up, and the light brightens.He's gone. Goodnight, Lucca. Travel Well.

I spend the day by myself, just walking. Walking around townlooking in windowsfilled with pretty things. They call itwindow shopping. I call it window dreaming. Dreaming of being the mannequin smiling, looking hot, nothing wrong,the worldpicture perfect from the window.

His, ours, theirs--blame needs a place.His, ours, theirs--pain all over the place.His, ours, theirs--forgiveness missing from this place.
