This is so intimate —not like the general, "erotic" use of the word of course— and such a beautiful window into you. I loved my time with this experience.
I grew up in Chicago, and I was very introverted (in hindsight because I was closeted af in an all-boys school lol). In high school I would get bored and sometimes take a subway back and forth from one end of the line to the other as I wrote in my binder. The section about riding a bus and closing my eyes captured that, as well as the crowded, awful bus rides (two of them) to school most days, and the two joyous ones back home once I was free.
Also, I SOOOOOOOOOO love this set of lines:
i'm looking forward/ to tomorrow/and tomorrow/and tomorrow/ but after that i have to check my calendar/(but if i had to guess/probably that tomorrow too
As someone who (probably) overschedules my life, that's 100% valid 🤣
All of that to say: this is glorious, and so unique and beautiful. Thank you for this!
