Mimosas in the park. Impromptu day drinking leads to weird slurred thoughts that elide and collide like particles from a solar flare. Discuss confusing feelings with the confusing woman who confuses you. The fountains in the quiet lake spray their mist into the paddleboats that flirt with the white water blasts. Sometimes a dog wanders by, sometimes a child, they behave much the same way in peripheral vision. The sun screams out its heated opinions to anyone who will listen, which is everyone. Nobody avoids the sun. Awakening from a daze leaves you in a state of total bewilderment. Who drugged you and dragged you? This is day 1 of living in a new neighborhood.
