I walk through my twenties<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

without you<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a weird feeling<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Or in the passenger seat<\/p>\n

with no driver<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There\u2019s almost nothing<\/p>\n

Half meals on the table<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

bread and salad<\/p>\n

certain friends<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

identify me incompletely<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

in a piled field<\/p>\n

of cut straw<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hey I\u2019m still talking to you<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

but my hair and nails<\/p>\n

keep growing<\/p>\n

___________________<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We fucked every hour<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

for I don\u2019t know how<\/p>\n

many years<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yes, I do remember<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It did not feel arduous<\/p>\n

to me, and what did you<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

come to fix the refrigeration system<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

know of feeling<\/p>\n

You who\u2019d trot<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

naked girl on horseback<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

in her infinite loop<\/p>\n

I\u2019m crying because<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

the movie<\/p>\n

was fucking boring<\/p>\n

____________________
\n 
\nIt\u2019s true, I made you<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

a horse rushing from the sea<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

a silent partner<\/p>\n

a cowboy might miss<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You lope up to me<\/p>\n

and say hello<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And here is the dream:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I give you apples<\/p>\n

I never tell you<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You\u2019re foam on waves<\/p>\n

I invented your shape<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

when the waves got boring<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is the dream of a cloud<\/p>\n

overtaking another cloud<\/p>\n
