Daydream...

As I’m walking down poplar I realize something. What a beautiful day. It seems that every day is getting more beautiful. I’ve been all around the world and for some reason this city is still the most beautiful place I have ever been. Its beautiful in a different way I guess. I love the beach actually. I’ve never been to the Caribbean. Maybe I’ll go. I just really like the lifestyle. Everyone there is not focused on the trivial or material aspects of life and just enjoy what they have. Ill go. Maybe not now or not this year but I’ll definitely go before I die. I guess I have to fly, or I could hitch hike down to Florida and see if I might be able to take a boat down. Whatever way, I am going and it is going to be amazing. This is happening. I wish I could share it with them, maybe by then… I’ll put that off for now.

         I’ll take a small vacation, off to the park. I suppose however that I should get some waffles beforehand.
         Xavier strolled towards Casa de Waffles in a light manner, imagining his blissful vacation, in all its ignorance. As he entered the restaurant the smell of sweet syrup, old coffee and of course waffles hit him and he felt at home. He grabbed a cup of Joe and sat in ‘his’ corner. He was lucky to be able to sit here. CdeW wasn’t particularly busy today, but being that it was a Friday it was more so than usual. The waitress brought him a waffle and he asked for butter. She replied with a quick short and very blunt, no. Now Xavier couldn’t fathom any possible reason why she would say this but continued to eat his waffles plain. He didn’t even want to get up to get the syrup at the table next to him nor did he want to ask the waiter for it.  As he sat mostly enjoying his meal he noticed the mother and son come in for their daily breakfast meal.

         By now it must have been half past eleven and this is later than usual for them, much later. Xavier gripped his mug with the three fingers and thumb he had left on his right hand and smiled at the child. The child frowned in return and got quite upset. Xavier didn’t know what he had been doing wrong lately but it seemed like everyone was slowly shying away from him. He got the check and left to the park.

Upon arriving at the park he found a kite. It was red and gold shimmering in the sun. He attempted to fly it for a little over an hour with no avail and retired to the shade of a tree to sleep and to dream.
