[Words and photo by Nadia Garofalo, pictured]
I sit in a Whole Foods eating organic
Fair trade organisms
Self conscious in this privilege
I made this place
So far from the young creature kid
That held up in her bedroom drawing and dreaming
I died over and over
Performing countless times for my pretend audience.
Writhing and clawing under the monotony of the hills
Their protection bored me i longed for the dark woods of the world
But the knot in my stomach ties me to safety
Don’t disappoint don’t over do don’t die, like really die
I could never believe anything beyond this moment here. The future is not for me to imagine. Forward
Forward
Always
Forward
