I have my metro card but prefer fresh air. On rue Sainte-Catherine the junkies are sleeping peacefully, arms for pillows. In John Cabot Square a portable CD player hangs from a socket on a light post. People argue. Pigeons peck the pavement. There’s beauty everywhere.
And I need all the reasons I can find not to hate myself. But it’s hard. Even the idea makes me shiver. Because I see loving myself like looking down on others. Riding around on a high horse. And I never want to think I’m better then the people I see on the street. The ones who have it rough. The ones who don’t fit in. The ones I see my own face in.
