Come Talk To Me

What's the deal?
Why is there something rather than nothing?
Maybe There's A Loving God
It's a new system so I won't comment on the effectiveness.
Much has been done, and much remains to be done

What is best in life?
When you are again allowed to use your limbs and your eyes
These are the days of our lives

How Do You Sleep?
Taxed Enough Already
I Don't Sleep, I Dream

II
I hate my job
Binding Books

Work is worthwhile.
I like to be reminded this city survives because of these machines.
We completely understand the public's concern about futuristic robots feeding on the human population, but that is not our mission.

I've been offered a lot for my work, but never everything.

(I'm going to run out of hints to drop)
Just great, I'm actually a coward

Checking how deep the water is before jumping in is not cowardice.

Giving and receiving
is this a thing that was forgotten or something else?
Who were you, before?

Do you want to taste my memories?
(It keeps getting harder and easier
All words and fingers with hearts thrown in)
Exterminate all rational thought
On the Occasion of My Last Afternoon
A Strange Day in July
your biggest childhood fantasies of organized Big Wheel races
crushed beneath the wheels of a tractor at 11 years of age
It happened a long time ago
(This runs deeper than a bruised ego
I would a thousand times rather have had a simple cheap sandwich with a friend
down on the boardwalk
seagulls screaming kiss her kiss her
Dumpster diving for fun and profit
To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace.)
A Chapter Ends
I did not need it. I was strong. I was steady. I knew what I was doing.
After childhood, we are too used to understanding everything.
The redemptive quality of change
the light too bright, the day too long
suddenly beautiful
She was a Surrealist Woman, She was like a Figure in a Dream
How we were, before we were
aneurysm, shmaneurysm
Horrible, Horrible is Turned the Earth!
Nobody Loves Me & Neither Do I

You are not alone
Love forsakes us from time to time, and we forsake love.

IV
First you hint at juicy gossip and now you refuse to reveal it. Damn you!

Your version of my story is probably so much better than the real one anyway.
More of a bookmark than a book
bullshit packaged as art
a handsome stranger tricked me


All you ever did was let it happen
So did I.
Imagine how happy you might be if you spent less time imagining how happy you might be.

It's funny because it's you
wasting a perfectly good eternity
mending a broken heart


No One Lives Forever

Random digit generator
I want someone to read between my lines
Do you think you could love me now?

(What happens when an unspeakable thing is discussed by a loquacious idiot?
Five minutes after falling off the cliff, I realized how high it really was
I don’t give a shit)

It's so crazy it just might work

(You can bypass Dates #1 and #2, and head directly to Date #3. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200
reader, i married him
It was crippled, it was heart-felt. The latter invariably trumps the former
if you haven't learned your lesson from reading this, you can only learn it the hard way
love is the cruelest form of dementia
love within reason, that isn't love.)

V
Please say it's not too late now that I'm dead and gone
(here we go
I am letting myself down so you don't have to
Everyone's fine. You deserve better.
It turns out wanting something doesn't make it real
Nothing lasts.
Everything is fallen or otherwise
uninspired
we are so small)

Everything changes. Nothing is lost.

I always told you I thought you were smarter than me

PS, I Love You
