Loud. So many people. Always so many people.
This city is so crowded. I could move. After school maybe? Some place cold. I like the cold.
Wonder where she’s going. Wonder where he’s going. Probably work. Ol’ 9 to 5 job.
Wish I could just teleport. Save so much time. 4 hours a day gone just for commute. I hate waiting. Hate just doing nothing. Walking is something. I guess.
Maybe I should learn to drive. They’ll keep hassling me if I don’t. Seems so hard. Feel like I’ll crash if I do. Sleep at the wheel maybe.
Trains right there. Should hurry. Hopefully there’s no stupid delays. One every day. I swear someone plans this.
What time is it? Hope I’m not late. Hate being late. Rather be absent than late.

Still no train. This music sucks, I should change it.

Kanye? No. Chance? No. Jay-Z? No. Taylor Swift? Don’t even remember adding this. Shake it off? Might as well...

Tunnels dark. Still no train. Wonder where it is. Rails look filthy. Explains the rats. Hate rats. Diseases inbound.

I stay up too late. Mhmm. Got nothing in my brain. Mhmm. That's what people say. Mhmm. That's what people say. Mhmm.

Why’s she keep staring at me? Is there something on my face? Should I stare back? Na, just keep to yourself.
What’s he doing? Trying to help someone probably.  Traffic perhaps? No one pulled over.

Don’t trust cops. Never really have. Make me nervous. Like I did something wrong. Did I do something wrong? Don’t think so.

Don’t wanna end up like Sean Bell. Just keep walking. Don’t make eye contact.

Lots of tourists. Guess it’s that time of year. Wonder if I’ll go on vacation this year. School permitting anyway.

Haven’t had much free time lately. Should probably do something this weekend.
Tired. Didn’t sleep. Need sleep. Should sleep. Should pay attention. So sleepy.

What’s he talking about? History? Don’t care. Just talk faster. Clock should go faster. So tired

Wonder if I’m so tired I can’t sleep. That would be hell.

Counting sheep doesn’t work. Should count something boring. Like class.

So hungry. Looks so good. Smells good too.  Look at the steam come off. Wonder what being steam is like.

Why a black bowl? Why not a white bowl? Who uses black dishes?

Is this considered soup or noodles? Or maybe both.

Noodle, noodle, noodle. Mr. Noodle. Sesame Street. Cool show. Jim Henson really knew how to make a not creepy puppet.

Look at that thing. It has a spiral. What is that? Candy? They put Candy in soup? Tastes like fish.
Cold tonight. And rain. Lots of rain. Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day. So much rain hate.

I like the rain. Makes you feel refreshed I guess. Feel like a plant now. Lights are so bright.

Place almost looks nice from up here. Shame you see what it is when you walk through it.

Maybe I should just stay up here. Watch everything. No trains for twenty minutes. Nice and quiet too.

So many lights. On a dark night. Too bright of a sight for one so full of fright. Rhyming Words!

I should go home.
