I need a break, yall.
It's okay for me to take a break, because I am usually working. Having the opportunity to 'take a break' means that I am productive.
I have been in the studio all day. I need to decompress my mind--too much thinking. I will go outside. I will bitch about my demanding professor. I will go to a meaningful coffee shoppe. I will 'bum' a cigarette and forge a relationship with some1 based upon 'bumming ciggs' from 1 another.

I am outside. (torn pant knees)
I have branded myself with the building I am standing outside of. Much like it is pathetic 2 see a McDonalds employee standing outside of their franchise, it is intimidating 2 see me outside of my progressive office/progressive college of the Arts. I set my bag on the ground. I keep a close eye on it. I have valuable books ('idea' books with memes in them + a Macbook Pro) in my bag.

I take a break.
I look into the sky.
I feel the temperature.
The way I feel is
directly related to today's weather.
On some days, I throw down an iPod chill.
Today I read my Neon Bible.
Other days, it is quiet. I become one with The City.
The Sounds of The City
Is like music
or the sound of Television on the Radio
A Technological Societal Natural Paradoxical Metaphor
Is my life in the city
Busy--but on break.
This is my idle state
The city is a Meriweather Post Pavilion.

I have to go to a cafe to study/work
but it will be a relaxed environment
that will facilitate creativity
I will 'get shit done' but in a light-hearted way.

I need a break
2 get my mind off things
like the Justice song 'STRESS'
I am s0 stressed
about deadlines, tests, relationships, and emotions that I don't know how 2 describe.
This break will be a solid opportunity for me to collect my thoughts
and have some caffeine--I was up l8 last nite.
I might treat myself to a carb-heavy snack--I skipped breakfast
and possibly a smart snack--I need a potassium pick-me-up.

This break will be good for me
but I dread/anticipate
getting back 2 work.
I am me. Me does

For 2 weeks out of the year,
I need a vacay.
I will travel
It will be more than just a 'break.'
Because I will leave my standard setting
and broaden my horizons
by seeing
a completely different part of the world
where people
have a completely different way of life.
(One day we're going to live in Paris
I promise
I'm on it.)

I want to live in this world of yours.
Where you do things
differently than I do things
on a day to day basis
(riding vespas and healthier diets)
I have dreams
of living in & with U
But I am
trapped in suburbia

I need a break/change/paradigm shift/vacay.
