tfw

tfw typing words in a box
tfw reading poetry in another language to reclaim a sense of being alone in the world
tfw chinese
tfw the white noise of the city will never sound as real as the ocean
tfw longing
tfw no shitty alone gf
tfw no one to kiss your legs
tfw no sand to write in

tfw the sun still hasn't risen
tfw the encroaching daylight is indistinguishable from the light pollution of a city
tfw these words too will be stolen
tfw out of cigarrettes
tfw age

tfw it is not it will never be again but it will always be this way
tfw the latter is much more difficult
tfw less lights than before
tfw it will get colder after the sun rises
tfw you will never
tfw there isn't any insight to gain from the fact that all train tracks, subways, metros all sound the same regardless of country or destination
tfw I may never go back to Singapore
tfw the glance
tfw no warm concrete

tfw the sun begins to rise
tfw no shitty gf to watch the sunrise
tfw no discernable difference between this sunrise in manhattan to the sunrise in nagasaki
tfw I may never go back to Nagasaki
tfw the czech brain surgeon I kissed in the rain
tfw we didn't kiss but I often wish we had when we huddled under a concrete roof soaked through and laughing
tfw the concrete was warm
tfw the sunrise will never be as slow as I imagine it
tfw this moment too will be stolen
tfw the words of this old book began to blur because I need to get glasses

tfw hearing youth
tfw seeing someone from another window
tfw it's already a light blue sky raising up
tfw memory of diving in the middle of the ocean and reaching the subcurrent of cool water and feeling a purity of thought
tfw memories too become indistinguishable
tfw I don't need glasses, but I may need to up my current perscription
tfw warm
tfw I had to come up for air and the moment was lost
tfw trying again and again to jump in right to get down deep enough
tfw couldn't hold my breath
tfw it is colder now

tfw birdsong
tfw breakfast of canned peanuts
tfw hum of radio after input has died
tfw memory of seeing many stars
tfw familiar insense
tfw need to change out flowers in vase
tfw no ocean
tfw missed the antique bookfair
tfw first non-automated email I got was from storeowner asking why he hasn't seen me in weeks and missed the fair
tfw typing reply into a box
tfw he saved a rare copy of Neruda for me
tfw he saved a first edition of Bowles
tfw this sky isn't sheltering at all
tfw no poetry to write in it
tfw making a new pot of coffee
tfw hand shaking
tfw sudden memory
tfw it comes without reminisence

tfw no replies
tfw no clouds
tfw no poetry
tfw the whistle that comes from the creaking pipe in the closet is indiscernible from the whistle of a kettle in another room
tfw watching someone make tea from their window
tfw memory of mountain coffee in malaysia
tfw never got to summit the mountain after the torrential rain washed out the rocks
tfw that was five years ago now
tfw the sunrise is a Japanese sunrise in terms of light
tfw feet on cold hardwood
tfw morning radio and waking city

tfw birds have stopped singing
tfw new cigarrette
tfw returning like I never left
tfw the irony of getting reply while typing the last post
tfw may never go back
tfw a kid laughs
tfw leaving shower on to warm the water
tfw folding clothes
tfw routine, even now
tfw this thread has become the only new thing I've written in two years
tfw crow building a nest
tfw reciting an old poem and having it stolen and published
tfw no waves
tfw no beach
tfw walking down the beach in Bainbridge, February, and having a small cry
tfw it was cold then like it is now

>tfw thread full of black tfw's

>tfw 4chan will be regarded as the most important cultural collective of the early 21st century

You should write more, that was all really good, and nice to read, nice imagery and feels, subjects, words, variety

What does it mean that all these posts, poems in the critique thread will just disappear into digital dust

You suffer from attachment. Meditate and learn about the Buddha.
