Biography

Hello. My name is Rachel and I'm a musician. I also write but have never shared. Until now. These are basic thoughts and murmurs. Nothing out of the ordinary but still collecting dust in my diary. It's good to share.

"Routine" we walk the same path daily me and the lipstick lady but we haven't met. I wonder what would alter if we did. Her life in my head: Children to look after. A husband who doesn't trust her early morning hurry anxiously dragging from her prison rollie. Another day. Another unloved day. I would smile And it would say I know. I understand. "What IF" What If I'm never who I thought and thoughts continue to fly by, catching occasionally but never lasting simultaneously this. is. me. but then there is a blank. and all that is me is a blank. This is blankety blank me: A big, fat blank with "levis" stamped across the front. "Tai Chi" every morning i watch them while yawning movements slow meticulous stalking crossing the ground silent in sound and I watch from above filled with warmth lost in love with these strangers at peace while the rest gently sleep.
