" and one day, you hit the mark...spot on "

(ple)

it was 18.40 and i saw it.

the traffic was in a slow vibratory lull.

you could smell the heavy pollutants lingering in the air

intermingling with the dusky aromas of the night vendors' street-side meals.


i stood there on the side of the road for a long time

letting it all sink in proper.


you think it'll never come again your way,

as if it had lost its way

and begun a long journey in the opposite direction.

but it snuck up upon me slow and in secret

it loomed near and inside my body.


i thought to myself that i was surely wrong,

and one day, you find that you hit the mark

...

spot on.


all of a sudden,

it's your turn again,

and you're caught off guard.


there's nothing like the feeling

of knowing that things are about to

get interesting.


your arms go swingy-dingy,

your face flushes with a swell of excitement and

a looming dooming fear.

you want to yell out loud, scream, throw up, fall down, run forever, smile until your face rips in half, explode furiously and crack in half, all at the same time.

and you remember how it felt.


as i walked back to my office, i could feel Life seething through me;

the blood surges through your body

electric and altogether

imitating the swells of water as they're sent through and inside

of energy-manufacturing dams.


but it happens from time to time,

and i'm glad that tonight

it's finally my chance again.


it feels good, and real, and new.

and i feel so ready for whatever is to manifest.


as it looks like i'll be here in Thailand for longer than previously thought,

here's to tomorrow becoming...
