don't write yourself off yet.

the morning starts out like any other, pleaing for a few more minutes, attempting to get out of bed. everything seems groggy from the eyes of a zombie. then he remembers what day it is, pride. he bolts up to go shower and dress in more rainbows than he ever thought he owned. the day is off to a good start. the makeup and costume fall into place perfectly. 
the way down, he smiles at all the passerbys, the old Chinese men and women giving dissaproving glares and hiding their children away from the queer. everyone backs away. he knows they're all staring at him. 
finally he makes it to the big group of queerios. they welcome his flamboyant nature with open arms, more than anyone who doesn't understand could do. he is no longer alone to stand for love. 
everything excites him, from the rainbows everywhere to the cute girls he sneaks a peek at. there is nothing he doesn't love. except for the fact that she couldn't be there.. he would've given anything for it to have been her that he had been marching alongside, holding her hand, creating memories with. alas, it didn't happen, so he starts to plan next year's pride. he starts to move onto the next thing he's waiting for, seeing her. so he'll wait. he'll wait the three weeks for her to be back in his arms. he'll wait until the end of the world. 

with the parade over the obvious choice is to drink, only problem is that his mother was expected to pop up at any second. he didn't want to get caught mid-swig and be scorned and hated for everything queer. although the bitch takes him away from the action anyways when he is sober. he longs to welcome the excitement with friends as opposed to being stuck going away with my mother. 

this girl puts a spell on bois. she charms them with her hippy powers. the dreadlocks on her head cascading down from a tumble of hair. she carries the world with her on her own head. the gentle weave of twigs in her hreadband being the most view. her purple doc martins giving her an air of confidence that she radiates down to everyone in her path. and he'll never see her again.
