mr. mime, it's not funny.i sat beside an indian woman today. her scent wafted into me like sweet tendrils of dream clouds. i love the smell of the indians -eastern indian-. like the smell of bare skin grazing soft soil. of forgotten flowers and oil that gushes out like a waterfall from between a giant's yellow teeth.
it took me back to yesterday's completely contrasting smells. a chinese man was beside me smelling like fresh hot urine. it served as a smelling salt as i tried to slip into a different state of consciousness. one that allows me to sit on a hill with my knees drawn up, watching Kirpal Singh and Hana hold hands like two continents colliding, smashing and all that are left are seeds and debris falling slowly like snowflakes.
i hate nations.
everytime i tried to pull away, the man's smell dug deep into my nose and tugged my mind back.
like an ignorant mime who doesn't fully comprehend what he's pulling or pushing at. it was frustrating. which one of us is blind i wonder.
