ideas
Picture this:
A cafe at midnight -
a guy nursing an empty drink
and an infertile hope that tonight
he'll meet the woman of his dreams.
Bad eggs make really shitty omelettes
(they're good for throwing at people though).
Imagine,
only living vicariously but
holding out on blind faith
that it'll all work out in the end.
An illiterate writer
capturing a white whale.
Nostalgia burning like
bricks in a house fire.
Calling out a name
you've only heard in your dreams
(hint: it's silence,
you only dream about things you know).
Pain being reciprocal.
