city life

i like to walk at night.

i especially like to walk around at night in the summer. it's hot here right now (why? i don't know) so that's why i say that. i like night because it's cooler, and you feel the moisture coming down onto the grass. i like the smells of the night too, even when they are bad smells. i like feeling cars pass by. i like the quiet, and the noises, and seeing little animals every once in a while, doing whatever it is animals do in the evening. i like that all the harsh details in daylight are gone; i hear my thoughts better. it's like when you are driving during the day, and you get close to the destination you've been seeking so you turn down the radio to see better. opposite, but the same.

i sort of live in the 'hood, though, so walking about isn't really the safest thing for a fragile little bunny to do, no matter how sharp her teeth and claws. so the next best thing is driving.

i like driving. at night. going fast is fun. i like driving for long stretches in places i don't know very well. i can listen to music and see lots of different things and places as i pass by. as long as i vaguely know the general direction home i'm okay. i also like the interface with my ride, my ride so fly. it drives well, what can i say?

but i live in a city. city driving is N.F. which stands for no fun. traffic is no fun. city highways are no fun. and the rest. you know?

so what does that leave me?

i don't know.

Drive fast and fun to a safe neighborhood and walk there enjoying the night sounds.

Or move to a beautiful and relatively safe city by a certain bay and walk day and night, taking in the fresh air and seeing so many great things.
