the gate

 

 

have we forgotten how just to be

in this ever speeding current sea

of currency of dollars and nonsense

where every circumstance every happenstance

has a hallmark a trademark an ip address

a dress a dress a dress for me

to wear to the prom to wear just for tea

a dress for me a dress for me

a muppet a puppet a poppet a queen

in the land of the lost to be or not to be

have we forgotten how just to be

just you and just me

have we forgotten the fun of the dance

the strength of the trance

when we could be just you and just me

still.

i know you're far away so maybe i seem far away.
but i'm not.
i always talk to you.
still.

and he formed his lips to make the words to ask why and what and how she means, but she was gone
in a poof
in a puff
in a whirl
like always
she was gone and his mouth was stuck with the unsaid words and his groin was stuck with unspent seed
and he spat
again and again
to spit her out, he thought, whilst questioning his own sanity, whilst questioning himself, whilst wondering if she was ever there at all
like always
and he spat
again and again
and she was out, he said when he was through

and dammit, i just had something pithy or thoughtful to say,

i forgot what it was

i get retarded-worded when i try to say too much at once

guess what i mean to say is

you look like you could soothe the anger of the whole wide world

guess what i mean to say is

shit

i'm starving but i couldn't force myself to eat

just fucking absolute impotence is all i have now to shake this feeling

i would do anything to step out of this place (my head)

and you scare me when you're mad

and to be honest, i almost can't even believe you're the same person

but you look like you could soothe the anger of the whole wide world

and you probably could
