Doors. Press my fingertips
against the smeared, greasy glass,
watching the girl standing alone
in the monochrome metro.
There is something urgent about her,
something so deeply sad in those big eyes,
something trapped inside an everyday nightmare
where the monster is swallowing her whole
and her hands are tied.

She needs to get on this train.
She needs it more than anything,
but I'm the only one
with my nose to the window.
The rest exist
behind vacant stares.
Not their fault,
but I have to get her.

I rap my knuckles against scratched epitaphs
and one-line tales of love and humanity
and she looks up,
not caring who,
simply knowi
Make it Fit She looks at those
tired grey-blue eyes,
underlined in ash
to emphasize a point
that meant something once.
(She must have forgotten it,
like androgyny and poems.)
She stares at the black-hole centres,
trying to fit them into that
round, innocent child's face,
that face that should smile at life,
not wish to shrink,
to return to the womb
and hide there.

She reads, "Would you run away with me?"
and pauses for a moment to appreciate
the beautiful idea of escape.
Almost as a punishment for daring to hope,
she's hit
with the reality of reality,
reprimanded for believing
that the action could ever remain as beautiful
as the id
She's the One... She's the one
who's gonna save the world,
who's gonna save you, boy,
from whatever ails you.
A multi-symptom drug
to make sure you don't get too addicted
to the poetic upper of being
down.

She's the one who swears
to inaugurate her beach house
with banana pancakes and sleep all day
on off-white sheets,
held in a pair of warm arms,
or curled up by herself
(She likes to believe she could die alone
and happy).

Please understand,
she would love to make you her world,
but fears another apocalypse,
even though she knows she'd survive
with stronger wings than before.
Please understand,
she would love to love you forever,
but f
Youth is Wasted... Everywhere you go
the mob is screaming,
yelling
inanities, obscenities,
stupidities.
Even we will murmur among ourselves --
world-altering arguments
on technicalities
to prove our superiority,
it's all about superiority.
It's just a question of authority:
don't question their authority
to question your authority.
Moral majority says
FUCK the moral majority,
and if they'll accuse us anyway,
if they'll still refuse us entry
to their realm of blamelessness,
why plead our case to a deaf logos?
Why bother screaming above the noise
that while we may be in the noise,
we are not of the noise?
All they'll hear
is another statist

Delicious breakfast after a hilarious night full of fiery ovens, psychotic bunny rabbits, and amusing moments with bananas. The lovely lady is Lesbian Lover Numero Dos, :iconlostthenfound:. I have noticed that both of my lovuhs can cook. Coincidence? I think not.

I could be in love,
If you wore that dress every day
With your hair just so and your eyes are grey
You'd make a beautiful bird on a line,
A beautiful bride of Frankenstein,
A beautiful drop of iodine
If you were mine, if you were mine, if you were mine.
