languid stupor

---

having perched ourselves snugly in languid nha trang for a sizeable number of days now, my sentiments towards this place is a vortex. it emanates a natural comatose; that compels you to channel the inner bum residing inside. well, ive been stifled, unexcited, piqued and rejuvenated all at once in this lazy sleepy town. im not so full of enterprise, realizing that when i sit myself down at yet another improvised coffee joint by the dusty streets i regain that regal calm that has eluded me the past few days. maybe one day i'd embark on a journey in solitude, but having said that that kind of a foray has with it its perils and constraints. that can wait. of late ive been spooning with the idea of doing a gap year, but that ideal dissipates almost as soon as it transpires; given im already 2 yrs lagging behind having sold my soul to the army. so maybe when i graduate in a good 3-4 yrs time me thinks. hopefully that chimerical illusion materializes someday.
