Entry V
Human
statues are popular in Europe but still not so much in Russia. So, my friends
decided to give it a try. Meeting people and giving them a smile was the main
objective. I was very proud of their courage. Public performance isn’t easy in Russia.
I was proud of them as women as well. After standing half an hour, the police
came and asked them to leave. We slowly walked to the river bank crowded with
people. People would stop and ask to take a photo with them. It was one of
these sunny days where all of your photograph would look great. Smells like
summer.

Entry IV
Platon's Bible
Russians were unusually cheerful; it was the 9th of May. A
reason to let your guard down and enjoy strangers’ company. Jack Kerouac's The
Dharma Bums became Platon's Bible. We roamed the streets till morning and he
kept looking for good light to read us something from it. He’d stop strangers
and preach about it. The alleys became his stage. Amen, he’s finish every
sentence. Entry III
In tough times, I like to make it harder on myself. Maybe to challenge, or maybe just to stop thinking about anything and busy myself coping with the new change. So, I decided to cut my long curly hair that I thought was my only beauty.
Me almost in tears: I cut my hair!
Her: good for you.
Me: what if I don't attract anybody anymore?
Her: well, I don't shave my legs for the same reason. I don't want to attract anyone with my looks.

Entry I
This door will haunt me for a long time. I want what's behind it. Even for a fleeting moment. I don't even know how I developed this infatuation to that person but it happened. I guess I just wanted to hurt myself. I knew very well he's not mine and never will be.
Our faces meet
Yours flushed Mine in bewilderment
A hand shake and a false introduction
And her eyes showing an apology
For some reason you looked good in your street clothes
And my hidden thoughts falling out taking my heart with them
I think some of it is still there
Right between the door and the exist
Where the trailer played
And my eyes were glued to the motion
I didn’t even know that it’s possible
To build hopes on false notes
Completely aware of my fraud
Holding on what not in my own thoughts
In them your eyes telling me to move in closer
And I know there’s no room
I picture your hands sliding in
The way I carved it in my deepest memory
Those hands that made my heart fall the first time
When I found out my thighs and body can’t fill the space
When I found out I helped the decision to surfaceWhen I saw it clear that I’m no good for this
While washing my body’s grief I still think
Maybe you’d give it another chance
And I hate myself a little more for this
