ACT UP

by hayley*virgo - Aquarius

I saw RENT Saturday night
and thought to myself, how appropriate,
as I entered the Shubert theatre in my knee-high boots.
Exiting, face drenched in tears,
         eyes heavy with with sillouettes of shadows,
I turned to Kim and said, Thats the closest thing
to a masterpiece Ive ever...
and I couldnt finish my sentence.
Kim nodded her head, put her freshly manicured
hand on my stone shoulder and said, I know

I got lost two days in a row on the highway-
First in Los Angeles, then in Ventura
5 hours all together
and I keep wondering if it is symbolic
or ironic or allegoric or something
or if its just a meaningless coincedence.
