winn dixie vs. benji

today was slightly windy -- and the clouds could not decide between voluptous or minimal... thus, i could not decide on how to label the day -- notice i went with "windy"--. but tonight the clouds are abundant, so i suppose that could be the true decider on whether or not it was cloudy today -- i'm going with yes. the moon with his pointy edges, scraping and poking his way out of the cloud-cover, helped me make up my mind. thanks, moon -- or should i say mon? i don't know.

i'm in the library right now... notwist to my left and my friend jim over there at the info desk. he misses his girlfriend -- i suppose there are millions of people right now at this very second who ache for someone else... it's weird, that whole phenomenon... right now in my green shirt with feathery bangs, i long for someone in chicago -- just three or so blocks from lake Michigan... and it's different but the same as jim over there in his red history department shirt with newly washed hair -- he misses someone who is just a short trip to platform 9 3/4. but regardless, we both experience missing... funny. and i'm sure somewhere a boy named anthony with braces and blonde hair misses the way his girlfriend laughs in 6th period science with Mr. Shore.
humanity's a funny thing...

i think we can all raise our glasses to that..
