All Things Poetic, Artistic, PhilosophicalCure everyone
then make them sick.
Hold everyone up
then let go
at the worst possible time
so they smash.
Spit lies at the pieces
make promises you can’t keep
like
everything will be okay
etc.
Hug and smother
with the same hands.
Hurt and reassure
with the same mouth.

While she’s crying
steal the lifeboat.
Throw yourself the rope.
Then stare impassively
at an inanimate object
a clock
a tv
the backs of your hands
it’s very zen.
