Feels like the center of the universe.
It feels like all my love is here concentrated into a plastic cup of soda the color of broken glowsticks. Out in the parking lot, IBecome something else— a wild animal a God a better version of myself—and I think about what would happen
if this building burnt to the ground. if Dylan or Andre got caught stoned on the clock. if they stopped handing out free locos tacos coupons.
Out in the parking lot I doomscroll, throw my head back like a baby bird inhaling crunchwrap supreme.Each sip of baja blast a shot of electricity— of liquid serotonin— each fiesta potato a promise. The polar bears are starving,the Hoover Dam is dry, and Arizona is nothing but standstorms. But 1414 N. Rutherford is still here— and somehow— so am I.
I remember this address better than my own apartment’s. I write it on a slip of fabric, sew it into my jacket.
