from the west coast to the east

I have ____

an airport.

bags packed, in limbo.

tripped going up the stairs last night, and my face is black and blue, my knees are bloody.

a delayed flight.

a few days to storm the best option. I’m not running, but trying on distance.

such good friends, as close as family. I stand by making up your own family, even if your blood is the best you could ask for. there is never too much family.

to sleep for a few days straight.

most of all, got to stop drinking. I can’t call you Babe anymore, Babe, but I promise to be better. i never want to ask if Alcohol killed my future with anyone ever again.

to get on the plane. it’s time.

…arrived in California. My name is Alice, I fell from the sky, and everything is curious.
