tourist

i still think i'm a tourist in the city.
i have to fight my urge to keep looking up at all the tall buildings, to constantly gawk at the space needle, to giggle when i realize:
the middle/high schooler who dreamed of flying away and living in a big place...achieved that goal.

still when i walk through downtown on fridays and saturdays, i just want to kick every tourist holding a downtown seattle map, walking slowly, and impeding my journey to work.
i'm trying to get to coffee before i sell tickets. let me through!

i may not know seattle very well yet, but i do know downtown.
i'm getting there.
