almost-enough

[almost-enough]

The woman in the dress quietly read her book,

unbothered as ever with what was going on around her.

-Before The Coffee Gets Cold written by Toshikazu Kawaguchi translated by Geoffrey Trousselot.

[almost-enough]

A lone boy on the highway

You think “that could be me.”

But you were born a woman and you’ll never be free.

[almost-enough]

Grief is love with no place to go.

[almost-enough]

Myths never hurt, Like dreams and random thoughts So I thought I'd try staying up, doing myths Than sleeping tight and doing dreams

[almost-enough]
