I Moved to Detroit

I've heard this same song 100 times. If I could write a book that could take me out of this world and into a new one, I would do it. If a sweater could warm my spirits, I would wear 1,000. Don't settle they say. It sure is hard to live a travelers life. Lonely, they don't know? Keep a knife (or dog) by your bed. We have to make compromises and spend hours. This is not a vacation, but we don't know what to do. Its hard to make friends while bound in the #2 position. I quick pray-"I don't need anyone but myself." The light looks like the gleam off of snow--but it's September. How are my toes already cold? Its funny the things we remember when we remember them. Its funny how habits can die in the blink of an eye, while others commence for years without a passing glance. What does it mean to be a hipster anyways? There's no use fighting or pretending. Sweaters have holes for a reason. Dress with paint to fit in here. Did you miss the memo? Its ok, someone will drive by and laugh...then you'll learn.
