Unused to airfilled chocolates: this method 
perplexes beyond reason. I wanted to give 
up and explode: you slept all day long.

Take your god damned Air Pockets
and your god damned "ambrosia" crap
and talk back for once, or go away.

I do not know anymore, how I am built.
You bake in the arsenic and apathy, 
and I delight in salmon tortes, or axlotls.

I dont care, Im going on. I dont know 
why you were thrilled I knew Greek; I know
better things, like candy and adoration.

"As though persons were the centers
of activity," you disolve. I do too. Forget it. 
Let's just hack our limbs off with broken glass.

Delight should not be so tall and unseasonable,
so listless, so hardworking, so thin and analytical.
Delight should be rounded, violet-eyed: I'll take Her.

<2.>

I've never done this before, Not Really. 
And, as with all habit, I am liable
to break it. I do not know if I can
build enough of clouds for us
to fly with. They ought, I think, to 
merely appear below us, as we
realise where we are. And I know,
suddenly, that there is this spanish 
violet in you, this melting to me,
that I will not find in thin somber
tree branches. I am afraid that you
will be too strong for me to trick 
myself with, for the love of magic.

If you could only be beyond my 
imagination, an empty vessel of
agony that never shook. I'll take Him.

<3.>

I was pouring out,
a glass of tap. Dusty.
I didn't exactly ask
to be woken up,
and I was not
aided much by 
this morning.

So dreams it is:
In a sing song voice,
I stay
Far away.

<4.>

Good poetry is impossible
if you can feel anything at all.

Lets be scientists, 
and build a chart?

A1:
I stay where I am.
(Im not sure where
that could be or is.)

A2:
I go to something
that has never 
worked for me.

B1:
I give up on people
entirely, and without
any reservations.

B2:
Rakish idealism, entirely
resplendent with 'wine, 
women and hard living'.

I suppose that its all
the same: what I wanted,
after all, was to be
utterly defeated.

-Tay Arrow Sherman.
