What is the most precious part? The deepest the true, what is this? Bare feet, stepping on the algea, super cinematic, ran in the harshest rain, it’s the wine, but we drank the wine. All this poetics can rest on the side, but without losing the most precious, the beautiful, if it contains the poetics, we bring it with us on the trip. The trip is a casual one, it’s the one we have everyday, we can go together or pretend to go solo, I rarely get to go really solo. Put all the things you love, wrap them around, things that would give you butterflies, want to hug, we forget about the rush of kissing someone you don’t know yet, bring that too, lightning in your eyes. Warm blanket, can’t sleep so excited, can’t sleep so anxious, can’t sleep I’m thinking about a chat with my brother when we were 6 and 12, with ugly pijamas. I thought I was going to be an astranaut, then many other things, most of them didn’t happen, I want to do a backflip, I want to sing on a stage, hold that, I have friends who want to dance, I have a friend who want to do papier-mache masks of animals, and dance naked and make videos about that, HOLD THAT, I had some friends who were sure to change the world, with a book, with a building, with some idea HOLD THAT, the feeling, whatever it is is up to you, but hold that. The awe that comes with the awareness of the vastness of the universe, loving something just because you love it, maple syrup, cottage pie, baklava, lemon trees, frozen grass, fresh coconut, potatoes because your grandpa grew them, whatever the fuck, hold that. You want to fuck that friend, slap the other, call her or him? Do it if you can, or not, but don’t bury the feeling. Run towards, run towards, run towards, not away or it’s a shit trip, full of insincere conversations and pretend friendships. Own it, hold it, wrap it around, wear it, kiss it, give it to me, and I give it to you, and we’ll go at the end, when the trip is over, and when we’re just about to sleep, exhausted in the best way possible, because we lived we lived, when you can’t wait to go to sleep, we’ll have a smile on our face, knowing it was a good trip, with all parts the most precious. All this to have a good time. I will never ever, ever hide the precious parts, or pretend I don’t have them, for anything, ever, again.
