let us go then, you and i
while the sun is burning still in the sky
and let us run away
escape
and etherize ourselves
upon whatever surface we can find

and then please don’t let secrets out
this isn’t yours to tell
i’m sorry if it tears apart
at your very being

how i wish that i could
take it all back

set my mind straight
and make a decision
and decide to decide
and decide to decide

like a broken record
my mind skips a beat
whenever you enter
my mind

(i love with my mind
and not with my heart)

for my heart is diseased and
fatty
and my pericardium muddles its
speech

but my brain is loud
and clear
and my skull makes a great
antenna
for its talking
and its speeching

and i’ll leave you alone for now
this is an existential crisis
i’m going through
but even i know that i’ll come out of this
unscathed
i wish you all could know that as well

don’t sell yourself
don’t hurt yourself
don’t worry yourself
and don’t hurt me

(this poem is
dedicated to
three different people
what parts are about you?)
