i simultaneously feel safe and vulnerable in a parking lot. when i had my car, i could go anywhere i chose. i went to my old middle school with graham. i had sex with ahna in the parking lot of krankee's. (regrettably). after work, at night, i'd drive across the street, park my car, open the doors, blast "witch" by (sandy) alex g at full volume, and sit on the bumper, eating my kids meal.

​

i looked up at the sky. 

at night, the clouds were white against the black background, and they moved incredibly fast.
