time, love, and art--what illusory concepts undefinable and immutable we meld, over and over again, the borders of our bodies becoming unclear in defiance of the defined space we transiently occupy. teenage rebellion. A most primal ritual, mother to a sentiment most sophisticated-- the bites you left on my neck lasted longer than your interest, which faded with the early sun like a dark cliche embedded in my skin. How curious it is to feel time, evade love, and be art-- how bitter to know the hollowness of each one, a lesson imparted by the weight of their meaninglessness.
