Love is like a Telenovela Soap opera
Everyone is always talking about it
It's too dramatic
It's too loud
The characters are too perfect
Their lives are too perfect
Nobody knows what's going on or can keep up
And I don't speak Spanish

People kept telling me you weren't real
What was I looking at outside the window?
What' so interesting?
Why is it easier to imagine a friend
than to make a friend?
Running across the landscape
Up, down, and around the towns
Something to watch against the timely drives
Your colorful coat always stood out
against the blue storybook sky
Are all cheetahs named Chester?
Or only the ones made up by kids?

 I hit a pigeon this morning. Let me start by saying it wasn't on purpose. I didn't want to hit it Every other pigeon that has ever been in the road has flown away. Has heard the road and the cars, and gotten out of the way. Why were these ones so stupid?? I heard the bodies hit my car I cried after The day was not better. We had a nice conversation about her cousin and her other cousin and how both her mom and her cousin and her grandma are all in the wrong Who knew that gossip spreads that fast in her family. We gave Monkey her raw hamburger A different conversation about inversion vs smog. I don't know how to help me. And it hurts me. She is my everything. And today was hard. The day was not good.
