inspiring circles

i was inspired by hiroyuki doi,
so i started drawing a whole bunch of circles
on a scrap piece of paper;
my circles aren’t as artistic,
in fact, they kinda look like squares
but i do feel relaxed while drawing them

images i can’t touch

geographic lines, half mesmerizing, half tantalizing;
cropped, then rotated to be shown on a platform
to make them look good,
fresh, maybe even something you’d be willing to eat/pray/fuck/dominate,
but wrapped in cellophane,
which i’m allergic to,
dammit

trip to take; or not

i’m breaking;
i’m not quite sure what direction to take;
mostly because there doesn’t seem to be any
road map to follow,
in fact, no road whatsoever;
i don’t think i was meant to take this trip to begin with,
yet here i am,
i guess
