from an email... unsent

i just got back from St. Pete and it was an incredible trip and i really feel like talking with [her], but my friend just called and i told him i would meet him for coffee.

the last thing i need is coffee.

what i need is a good night's rest and to write, which is what i intended to do on this trip, but somehow i got swept up into:

1) First Friday festivities, watching the throngs from balconies and falling in love with blond hair, green dress servers in lesbian wine bars.

2) long talks with crazy old women with shining young eyes in new age bookstores, wearing a fitted Ganesh t-shirt and discussing Pramahansa Yogananda.

3) watching a bug crawl across Dali's "Three Graces of Cova d'Or" and the irony of one of the only bug-less displays in the whole museum becoming an entomological exhibit.

now that is surreal.
