Blue Box

Song: Boards of Canada “Turquoise Hexagon Sun”

This song makes me feel like I’m walking in a vacant city, where the air is cool & the leaves under my boots are crisp. The fog has almost consumed me whole. Everyone went to sleep hours ago. They have tucked in, had their goodnight snacks, and set up the big box television. Working its nightly shift to lure in the sandman. 

I feel like I’m a 16 bit video game and my avatar is slightly bobbing up and down while it waits for me to make my next move. Im leaning against a brick wall with my leg kicked up. Everything is blue. One hand in my pocket, the other holding my phone, scrolling to find another song to queue. I like to be ready. 

I’m by myself but I’m not alone. There are others out here with me. I call them rats, they call themselves “the next to take over”. Same difference.
