Be My Illusion (My Sweet)

Can you escape
the moment
that made you buried underneath
concrete?

I want to know
or I'll stick my tongue out at you
and you'll have to be silent.

We'll fall down like Humpty Dumpty
and wave emotionlessly at hilarity

I can't help it, I watch you come
down,

I watch you enjoy
your own downfall,
baby.


what if you were naked on the subway
and not a single soul
treated you any differently
than anybody
else?

So how do I get
to you;

to the
hypothetical?

How did I get to this point   :
this frighteningly casual terror?

Don't forget how beautiful
you are,
wouldn't you, my beautiful?

Give me your darkest innards
spilled out onto the floor
with paragonic honesty
and divine concupiscence,
won't you?

I stopped giving a shit
when I was 25,
I choked on my laughter
at the  resplendence of
a summer night.

A
Summer
Night.


and
now

Things,
THINGS;
I no longer
care
about
THINGS.
