Death by prose | Sticking your middle finger in its face, you may see the world smile
Yesterday I saw a sign that informed people at the train station that ‘Failure to buy a ticket for a trip will result in prose-cution’ and the only thing I could think of was Prose+execution=prose-cution. Don’t tell me; it’s a random way to emerge from my cocoon.
Here’s my attempt at staying alive:
You say to me
FUCK what the world says about this and that
[excuse your french]
You want to be with me
And because of that
[F- to what these and those people
Say about how we should be]
Serenade is a rude word
Talking to another man
-Like that-
Is not kosher
But what does the world say?
He’s not that into you
-Does he call you (not?)
-Does he text you (often?)
-Do you love the feel of his lips on yours (so good they are,. So supple?)
You’ve got a fast car
But I’m not sure I’ll enjoy the ride
I am of the world
I have not the rectitude your love demands
I want-
information
Breath(lessness)
travel partner
Loverfriend
I’m as good at silence
As you are at communication
We are good-
We take each other as we are
No newandimproved
Just takeitorleaveit
Let’s run off to an island
Where we’ll be together
-Always
No questions, doubts
No worldly expectations
I have asked for little
I have not had a surfeit
[how that word sounds like a frothing over]
I want more
