Remember and don't forget

SO WHAT.

Deal with it. It won't stop

probably so deal with it or

haha nevermind silly, just

move on to something else.

Who gives a **** about headphones

advertisements in the middle of

hypnotizing music from her stores?

The larder is – behind that door – you

can't enter no matter how hard you

try, that is music there. There's nothing

physical, no floors no walls no just music and you can open the door.

What you hear won't make sense and it will blot out all other

senses but there she is striding past me and walks

inside.

 

because that's where she belongs. This is not my comprehension. In she went,

and I will never see her again but hear her as she has infiltrated the

realm of organized sound to contribute to the beautiful lustful chaos. She

has only just begun, I realize. There is no end, though there was a beginning;

she has fractured infinity casually as sipping water from tea cups in faux-innocent

sunlight filtered through a hangover on something you're pretty sure was called a

veranda but that's more a polite curiosity than a serious one so you content yourself to take in

this retrospectively invented image of her in Ray Bans and anything but pants with her scars

embossed and tattoos in a rare moment of silence preceding the moment of sound where she asks  

why you're looking at her like that, and you hadn't realized you'd done it again, shifted to the

future you reflecting on the present moment to grasp the intangible, to outline the undefined to

alter the fixed and whatever other paradoxes you happen to be causing at the time because you've

accidentally, temporarily transcended again, so you're really just along for the ride with your

pretty little thoughts of her and this veranda or whatever while she's smoking a cigarette you

offered her so enjoy it while it lasts. Whatever you do, enjoy it while it lasts, and go easy on

yourself, you're just a kid after all, remember. Remember. and don't forget
