P.S

I am wide awake, and it feels like
the rest of the world is awake with me.
We have our little village of Macbooks here
in Macdonald's and I have 800 words down.
I feel triumphant and then I look up and see
a girl in a cocktail dress and heels.
At Four AM in a 24-hour fast food chain in Kallang.
Life is strange.
It is also strange in that it seems to be going in circles.

A word, so foreign, so ... unfamiliar now.
It used to flow easily off your lips and to my ears but
now it stops short and clutters up the
conversation but warms me still.
Short-lived as it is.
I persist in believing.
I'm stubborn that way.
