ypsilanti's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- child so first thing, we get in my car, and my tape of the supremes is playing, and brett says "Dude, Destiny's Child!!", and no sooner does he say this than i look to my left and see this little kid, maybe like four years old, just running as fast as he can down the street, completely unattended. so i point and say "destiny's CHILD!", refering to this lone child, just wailing and screaming up Marshall Street. he WAS the child of destiny, a happy-go-lucky little dude, unwittingly sending us an important message.. like "this is the time that slips away", right? or "dance while you can, laugh while you still know how".. or "how will you laugh tommorow when you can't even smile today".. or probably "ladies leave your man at home, the club is full of ladies and their men are at home, and their pockets are full grown millionaires." when we were in new york in july, there were these two kids, one about five, one about three, both with dreadlocks and weird stupid clothes, totally dressed up and fucked with by their dumb parents, who probably weren't that far behind... but they seemed to be walking through manhattan by themselves, holding each others hands for support, and the older kid kept on repeating in a highly dramatic tone.. "HI HO, HI HO... it's off to HOLLYWOOD we go..." it sucks when you live such an affected life by the time you're five. every night i have dreams about people i don't really even feel like i know, or places and persons that just feel foreign or not completely a part of anything that is real or actually happening in my life. this is the time that slips away, for certain. ******* listen to: they parked you in and you couldn't stop crying. you tried to spit on their car, and it felt like flying. you started to ask, but she looked at her shoes, you felt like it might be better if you just stopped trying. 2:16 p.m. - 4.17.01 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
