strategy

returns.

my es21ac teacher once told our class something that struck me.
rosa parks did not sit in front of the bus one day because she merely felt like it.
she sat in front because it was planned months in advance
the event was strategic
the event was also already done previously with numerous people but to no avail
but they planned it
so that a nice sweet old lady can sit in front
and cause the commotion that was needed

interesting.

i like to walk down dark alleyways in hong kong
because dark alleyways were just the way streets were
with the
limited
space
it was
crammed
but each alleyway had its own personality
old-ridden

stepped over

washed through

odd doctor room lights

no lights except that glow at the end

but dark alleyways in america have a different meaning
the scariest alleyway i saw was in taiwan
maybe cos i couldn't see the end of it
and rubbish scattered the floor
and i swear i saw a skeleton

i come down in an elevator
with thoughts in me
oh what can i do
with
picking up a spray paint can
and just runnin' with it
i haven't done that in almost a year
then thoughts begin to run
then the door

opens.

i walk down a dark street
and i usually look up
then down at the ground
because my dad tells me that i should
always look down in case i see money
i've found 20 dollars
5 dollars
a 500 dollar check (i returned it)
and 40 dollars before
and with that i stick to my dad's advice
but today i looked up
and a tall silhouette passes me by carrying a book
and he says to me he says
"excuse me..."
and im like
"yes?"
"you see that door to your left as you pass by?"
"yea?"
"make sure you look at the style of tagging"
"oh...haha ok"
"thank you"

and with that the doors open.
