Things I miss

Some things I miss:

  • Having a diner a block away that serves breakfast until 4am
  • A nearby playground where there’s always a good game of basketball
  • Meeting my friends early at school to play Salugi in the park
  • Running to the pizza place near my elementary school, for lunch, where you’d get a slice and a soda for $1
  • The undeniable sense life is unimaginably long
  • The freak show of White Castle on Northern Blvd and Bell, at 2am on a Friday
  • The convenience store that sold us 15 year olds all the beer we wanted
  • Talking to close friends for hours without an excuse for why
  • Playing football in the streets
  • Crusing Franny Lew, just to make fun of other people who cruised Franny Lew
  • The ethereal sense of abundant undivided time
  • Watching summer thunderstorms at dusk, raging on the horizon, above the street on my parents porch
