hard parade

elisei. Waiting for the bus, cold, shivering, even bundled up in three separate jackets, but I'm not thinking about the temperature. Instead, a ghostly rhythm is stuck in my head as my fingers move deeply in my pockets to hit invisible keys. They are refusing to stay still and screaming to touch porcelain.
