what else do you need to
know about record players & crisp
packets after supper conversation? it is
surprising how
easy it is to breathe
in during winter, you wouldn’t think
it but sometimes walking around the city is like
learning to smoke again, the irish band you
went drinking with said their man was
kindness itself & forgave every
wrong doing and bought you six glasses of
the more expensive wine because you
needed filling, as if the sewage pipes
of the local sanitarium ran through you
because nobody visits our apartment to bring me
comfort anymore
we just look for the cheapest meat in the
grocery stores because
desire only leads to fulfilment which
is boring.
and here you are again
in your own bed weeping for no reason
and chopin’s nocturne number eighteen
says feel that box around you, it’s the
day on this calendar, let’s cross it off
together it says july twenty
nine and suddenly you
wake and you are a child and the
brown dog of mathematics is becoming
violent and you’re unemployed and
when you don’t do
anything, don’t even move to touch
me everyone thinks it’s because you
don’t care
