We played catch with oranges in Soho
Your friend said it sounded like something Will Varley would put in a song
How about the one that says fate makes mistakes
every now and then?
Something about being there
Smoking out of windows onto windmills
self-obsessed or just in love with you
We watched
As strangers danced on country roads
masks and PPE
Tears streaming in an airport
I didn't know how fast things would change
Later someone told me, art doesn't need witnesses
The capitalist in my head disagreed
He whipped me into submission
scanning for all the ways he could auction me off,
piece by piece
He auctioned the best parts first.
Dropped the price when no one bid.
Took less, as long as he was paid.
He lives in me now.
Turning memory into product.
Turning love into proof.
