a friend of mine once said...

..."you should listen to yourself sometimes". And now that there is noone else but I to pay tolerant attention to what I say, it seems brash and brazen.

Not once, but twice then three times did I let things slide,

"You are a different demographic"

"American?"

"What do you mean Australians are racist, sexist and homophobic!?"

Without a love to count on, these words now stand unshrouded; ugly, sharp, upsetting, confronting. And now, like you said I should, I can listen to myself and be ashamed.

a piece of heart

Between the paperwork and wonder, I miss you.

drip...

Scattered?

No.

More like splattered.
I have dripped from forehead to toes to station platform. From cotton dress, synthetic bra, ill-chosen underwear and winter shoes (and socks).

What was I thinking doing yoga in a sun filled room with 10 other ladies when it was 32 degrees?

Despite the interminable flow, Hong Kong is pretty great.
