Je Ne Sais Pas

























I don't know how I feel about this.  And not necessarily in a bad way.  Sitting here in the middle of la Jardin de Luxemborg.  Suffice to say, je ne sais pas with this many people around, like a steady stream rolling back and forth, and a symphony of French conversation from all the filled chairs about.  For a second I'm bummed on not having brought my music, some headphones to zone out to, but this is all I think I need really.  And the French kiddies fly past like seagulls on the run, screaming and harumphing all around, and it's lulling me away.  

A sixty degree day she says.  It's true and we're sitting in cold California again, not cold France, and it's nice.  Accommodating even.  She looks back like a hussy with a filter on her lips, and I don't know how I feel about it.

Feel something, dammit.

But there's nothing.  No real passions at all.  No tether.  Like a red balloon, floating off without a string.  Just some vague appreciations rising into the brisk late autumn sky as the dried leaves fall.
