Tolstoy’s Answers

Today When I see you in front of me You run through a thousand words and bits Of Bits Of lives you know I am part-werewolf part-pop reference Part great archetype part lover I am never whole I am never me There is no insight Today when The blue of your eyes Is only as vivid as the paintings I’ve seen They are not your eyes you have taken them from the blue of time you’ve dressed your self and yourself from cruelty in factories and the love of the cloth today I am losing it You are millions of people A shaky picture of a picture It must always be like this There is no insight Today When you unravel the things in your purse With gumpacks tic tacs god and a weapon I don’t know which one you are Who have you stolen you from? Say existential crisis again And I’ll disappear into the walls There is no inside-out insight There is no in side-out in sight There is no in side out in sight
