he likes to eat good food, to watch sports and he like to write
so desmond wants to become a writer who writes about food and sports
probably for a newspaper or something
see
how easy things flow sometimes
u just don't have to think so much
until the cogwheels in your brain get stuck up in each other
until your thoughts are not heading anywhere
until you can't think anymore

i want to show mom
how easily things can go how she shouldn't worry
i happened to read an email that mom sent to a close friend of hers
she reminisced how fast time had past and how much her son had grown up
such mood between the lines
so powerful
a filmstrip stated playing in my head
mother's fingers typing, wrinkles, silver birches, the Gobi Desert, a green train, the 8-year-old myself in a blue sweater, an orange setting sun
all these were ended by an awkward emptiness under my belly

mother shouldn't worry at all
because the son understands love
a mother's love
