Pouring through an hourglass; she’s always “‘in love.’” I look at her and see some of the stars I lost—years ago. I never believe a feeling or a word she says, But that’s nothing new. I sit up before it all feels too familiar. There’s a soliloquy of mine floating around, I can’t quite catch it; I wouldn’t know what to do if I did. The moment’s crisis is all but lost on me. My ****** ego and pretentiousness. I go home to forget any of it ever happened, And I spell out “lust” where I mean “love.”
