you told me to put up a target
to scare away others
but you only scared away yourself

7:07 pm sunday feb 22
the sound of actors
clapping for other actors
makes me want to die
sooner

-
8:45 or 9:15 am, monday feb 23
you know what sucks?
the sound of clicks that won't be answered

-

are you the jealous type?
oh yes you are.
call me again, why don't you.
why don't you?
-
i should listen to you more
-
i should talk less
-
no
-
you should talk more
-
no
i should be myself
you should be yourself
and we should avoid each other
-
also
i should never write poetry
(not even of the prose variety)
-
6:03, feb 23
HONK!
things i ran into today besides you
(in order):
a fireplace
a toilet (an ex-boyfriend)
-
memory:
last week, i stood up to a television.
-
7:46 pm, 23 fevrier
you called without asking!
but,
i was asleep.
don't call me when i am asleep.
when i am asleep, i sound very annoyed on the telephone.
i sound like i want to be sleeping instead of talking to you.
this is not true.
i would prefer to talk to you.
don't call me when i am asleep.
-
8:42 pm, 23 fevrier
ooh you emailed me.
after you talked to me (when i was asleep).
good boy.
i coo to you.
you're very smart.

10:02 a.m., 24 fevrier
whispered words in another tongue
of another love
why won’t you be like that?

she is
she rips out my heart too

I want to talk
I don’t want to talk
you should never tell a girl that she talks too much
(i shouldn’t be a girl anymore)
because then she will shut down in class

I want someone to make a video of a poem that I write
but I don’t want to write any poems
-
whoops
-
look at me
-
this is not what i want
this is not my beautiful chair
-
hey
don’t talk into the floor.
I think you should not talk into the floor.
-
to order my mirrors
and turn them on you
make you happy?
no
this would only make you sad

sometimes i wonder
if you have to get sadder
to get happy
again
maybe
for the first time
-
hey
why don’t you give up
and go back to your farm
-
memory of
a verbal slap
and a slap pat at
on your shoulder
both of which are funny
both of which you deserved
both of which make you sad
-
I need to learn Spanish
so that I know when
Medusa is coming down
-
memory
when there’s nothing left to burn,
you have to set yourself on fire.
that's what you told me
and that’s what i told you
i’ll tell you.
-
11:22 a.m., 24 fevrier

achoo
ACHOO
don’t worry, it’s normal.
thank you.
I’m going to get some water.
-
sometime in the last half hour, 24 fevrier
wheels turn
i burn
-
a candle
-
that's a good idea
-
here are some recent ones that weren't:
you,
you,
you,
you,
you
(a toilet,
a marine,
a reverse wingman,
an overlap,
an other)
-
2:02 p.m., this was also a bad idea, this is a construct, this is a construct that i
am starting not to like
i need something to work out
