two creepy experiences one after another. the second was watching the well-acted but self-obsessed, inexplicable donnie darko. the first was the busride there. i wrote a poem about it actually while waiting for anne:

conversation

a woman spoke to me

on the bus

her eyes were blue and soft

as saga cheese. they looked as though

they’d yield to gentle pressure,

and taste like mold

Like you could leave your thumbprints

in them

she never asked a question

and oily waves of hair encroached little

by little on her face

She fumbled with invisible cigarettes

drawn from a bent white box

She nodded from time to time

so did i

I was embarrassed to admit i didn’t

speak danish; and anyway

she wouldn’t have heard.
