Upsetting the design

upsetting the design people will love you  without a reason people will hate you  never knowing why the beauty is fragile it goes without saying deep as veins blue as the night if we found paradise would we insist on keeping it despite all we know  of our kind maybe we should just enjoy the moment anything more would  upset the design

what she said

what she said need to tell you a secret need you in close never told anyone you won’t be the last since I was a kid I’ve had this impulse I've come to understand I’m not like everyone else as I’ve gotten older it’s only gotten worse seen many doctors there’s just no cure hate group activities won’t join any cause can’t stand poetry crude forms of art won’t support your team or sing along don’t throw frisbees or play fucking ball sickened by humanity since I was a little girl saved by a few paintings handful of books we'll never be friends forget this kiss we can't understand each other and I take comfort in that

reverse cinderella

reverse cinderella she was always sleeping with the wrong people her friends had warned her she might wake up desperate or worse discover she’d become cinderella in reverse she fell for artists and musicians men with failing shops sculptors living in basements with very big dogs one day she met a banker with an extremely small heart she said to herself she’d love him and help his heart enlarge he showered her with vacations she shared her passion for the arts she made him a patron of all her friends’ work decades spun her head she found herself rich and alone up until her death she was never sure if she took the right way to go

The Wild Woman

The wild woman They made the bars too light They couldn't hold her She'd drink the men into a corner When they thought they were feeding her They tried various forms Of domestication She didn't take to Any of them They'd settle for guided tours In ambulances behind Face masks and chastity belts She saw right through them They had a plan to turn Her smile into a gallery But they just couldn't Get the funding She outlasted most of them But still had too many enemies

Pyromaniacs on the event horizon

Pyromaniacs on the event horizon I'd give you my fire if you could use it We could burn trouble for a while Take you to the room full of secrets Make love to you for a smile I've spent my life entirely naked Wearing arms around my chest Sending flares to the event horizon Asking for a little help Rescuers come in uniform Blankets and trucks make a mess Never waiting for the smoke to clear Before they're off somewhere else I'd give you a forrest you could burn it Nature does worse in a storm Compressing charcoal into diamond Some things are worth waiting for
