The gypsy next door told me that love was poisonous as she blew smoke in my face chanting incomprehensible quotes amongst scientific findings proving that swallowing pen ink causes your stomach to churn like falling in love.
I drank motor oil so we could actually go somewhere.
I named stars in your honor and God himself banished them.
I read college textbooks because after I told you I believed in love you told me to grow up.
The turbulence in our tongues castrates my esophagus every time I search for you as if you're the prize in a box of matches.
