Composed 8 September 2004,
meant to be read aloud, untitled at the moment (surprise surprise)
he said - you're not who
I thought you were he
said - this isn't what I
want he said - you're full
of contradictions he said -
I don't want to be vulnerable
right now he said - all the
pieces fit, except the ones
that don't he said - your
beauty can't convince me
he said - I don't want to
be an open wound he said -
sometimes trouble isn't a bad
thing he said - I don't know
who I am
she said - sweetness I'm
sorry she said - we all have
issues upon issues she said -
there is only this moment,
are you in or out? she said - it's
silly and crazy and mad
but it's beautiful she
said - I own this and
will again and again she said -
don't be a fucking coward
she said - feel.
he said - you're making me
uncomfortable he said - don't
drag me into the light he said -
I want to revel in my devils
he said - I want to walk
this line alone he said - when
I close the door I'm closed
off he said - the damage is
done.
she said - shit or get off
the pot she said - you have
to live your life she said -
angels and devils look the same
she said - take my hand, we'll
walk this together she said -
don't leave me behind
she said - this moment
never to be repeated she
said - can I get a carpe?
she said - this is as real
as any of it gets she
said - kiss me quick.
