Sounds Like
I can be really awesome. Like melt in your mouth, free soy chai on the street corner, Sam Cooke singing in the back ground awesome. But other days, I'm shy. Too Sullen to be interesting. To tired to be aware of how I treat other people. Wrapped in my own world. Sometimes that world isn't healthy. I'm a vegetarian who hates vegetables. Sometimes, when there is no one here but me, I choreograph elaborate dance routines which I perform in my muppet underoos and a tank top. My family has no idea that I do this. My friends suspect that something isn't right. My life is a reality tv show with no cameras. I'm highly entertain. Have to stop myself from lapsing into obnoxious on odd days. I remind myself to be a bit more gentle with myself constantly. I'm learning to be easy. I don't want children. Because I'm pretty sure that children don't want me. Yet, somehow I ended up with a genius 14 month old. His name is Elaiwe, which means The Highest Place. I call him E Boogie Baby Boy because he dances and dances to everything that pretends to be music. I've adopted the same philosophy so we spend a lot of time shaking our collective tail feathers to washing machines and pepper mills. I get paid to entertain. He pulls poems out of me for free. I'm not a poet but I play one on TV. This year, I plan to fall in love and stay there. This year, I want someone to love me and mean it.
