Forward-thinking

if you never close your eyes, things can never sneak up on you. 
or away from you. or. just away. but then you have eyes that are red from being drowned. from being lost in a desert of air. so. you. wander in cotton and fur. silk robes and old man slippers. coffee by the pot. wine in mugs. stare out the window. lean out the window. then there is smoke and pigeons and yelling 5 houses down. i live in solitude without you.
sometimes i think that it's impossible that there could be a future. to find something after looking so long. thereisapast.thereisrightnow.thereistomorrow.butafuturewhereeverythingcouldbedifferentandyoumightbegoneorimightbefartherawayandwhycantthingsstaythesamebutbetter.theycanonlygetbetter.

but there has to be a future.
and you have to close your eyes.
