I believe in innocence, little darling, start again

yesterday the city was mine again and the sky was so blue and i wore a blazer that was also blue and everyone said i looked good, like an english grad student should. i taught a class on hamlet and the students were affected like i always hope they will be and then i had a surprisingly nice coffee date with a ghost of boyfriend's past. i haven't seen drew in probably a million and a half years but i guess there are some people who can easily come back into your life, if only for an afternoon. i rode the shuttle back and forth and back and forth all day between georgetown and dupont and a cat in a window seemed to look back, knowingly, at me and for some reason that made me feel like the world was on my side, but also that i am a little crazy. at night i heard a good friend perform some awesome tunes and i took so many pictures because i wanted to capture all of it because everything and everyone was beautiful. walking home, a soft breeze hit my face and i could feel summer rounding the corner. yesterday i smiled so much and my heart didn't hurt once.
