we can leave them in motel room
nightstand drawers someone will think it is art and others will not they will throw it in the trash or think that the last person who touched it had scabies then look it at with too much suspicion and leave it in the drawer someone will think it is a sign just for them it might remind them of their first love because that first love lived on a street that was also named after a tree then they will leave who they are with find and then stalk that first love it could be good it could be very bad a bored kid might find it after just watching Goonies for the first time on TBS on the motel tv set while the parents are sleeping so exhausted from driving all day they might think it leads to a map that leads to candy bars and pirate treasure they might run away and find out about real criminals that don't wear berets the motel cleaning lady might find it and think why did this asshole leave me this instead of a tip then quit her job which she hated anyway she will write a bestselling erotic novel because secretly she has been watching people through the supposed heat vent in the ceiling and thinks she could write everyone's sex life way better the possibilities are endless so let's go now we will fill the grocery store tote bags we always forget for our actual groceries we will stuff them with with water balloons and throw them out the car window at random people we can take polaroid pictures of that we can leave those at the napkin dispensers in every Starbucks we have ever gone too you get the picture meet me at Sycamore St.

Loved let's take polaroid pictures of street signs!!! Every phrase brought me to that moment, to that spot in that hotel room, and whisked me along to the next mind's scene. So wonderful to read.
