life can be so many things.

in boston, life can be filled with slow walks with linda around the christian science complex, a ride down storrow drive under the "reverse the curse" sign alongside the thames till you see the doubletree, watching people ride rollerblade or bike by your car while you wait on the light to change, fast flowing lines at anna's taquiria waiting for that chicken super burrito, waking up twenty minutes early to ride through davis square on the way to work, being excited for the chance to see a crush as you walk through the mall to work, "squishy cubes in coconut milk" for dessert at dok bua's, making trips to the laundromat and realizing that you don't have enough quarters, going to "joe's liquor" with the imitation cristal bottles in the windows to buy a six of sam light, leaving "joe's" with a six in hand and quarters destined for the washer in your pocket, going to diesel cafe to lust over the hot women that make your coffee, getting stuck in red sox traffic for hours only to be mad at yourself for not realizing there was a game, thinking about how your red sox devotion needs to be rekindled, but loving the red sox anyways, and finally walking into your second floor apartment so happy to find your roomates hanging out in the living room with beers in hand.

i just visited boston in my mind....
i am whole there.
