Sitting in my first world private work space at the public library.
Floor to ceiling downtown view.
With lots of sunlight too.
Wired and air conditioned.
Desk lamp... ergonomic table and chair. I can get used to working from here.
Only two hours a day you say? That's OK.
I can work with that.
Facebooking for an overpaid paper jockey in a once forbidden waste land made more barren everyday in a literal way.
By the head long embrace of planetary destruction.
What the Hell?
Why not?
It paid my bus fare, my lunch and my dinner.
So I too can consider myself a winner.
Somehow how the sadness of all this knowledge of futile truth makes it alright for tears to stream down my face.
Knowing I am going to sleep alone tonight? More or less. No.
The constant lack of true love and respect.
The love that we need and the respect it all deserves.
Not all this meager might.
The cracks in the side walk here are ground down if they get to high.
Be it by earth, tree or water.
I like that fact. I do.
But you still cant skateboard here like you can on the road from Riobamba to Macas.
