O, the Frailty of Memory

I'm very starved to the moment in Perks of Being a Wallflower in which the characters agree on their own infinity. Starved isn't the word I chose, but my phone chose it for me. I long for a moment in which I can be so sure of my own infinity.

My favorite tunnel in town goes under missionary ridge and sometimes I drive miles out of my way just to go beneath its years of history. The old civil war is in its name and the CCC is in its construction and a global community of commerce drives through it.
Tonight, I rolled my windows down to disk in the light and sound of the place and a beater passed me, old enough to rattle and smoke, but loud enough to satisfy what my Toyota was never designed to. He revved hard in a low gear, ramping the machine back on its suspension. I stuck my arm out the window and shook my first into the night air.

That man and I parted ways at two am on a Sunday morning, never knowing each other. We are not infinite. But I have this moment, and I'll continue to look for the moment my life.

[It's 11:11. Make a wish.]

I just looked at it again. If you think I'm going to do it again unprompted, you have another thing coming. I'll find work when I have to, but until then I'm terrified and running.

Try to catch me, world, and you'll find I'm easy prey. I run so poorly.
