#essentials
the things physical we could not live without,
the objets d'art that decorate the tapestry of
the primary bones of our existence
each of us differing,
each of us, a different list,
utilitarian is beauty,
thus our individuation
distinguishing and distinguished
a trash can,
purposed for our wastrel wastage,
and yet, beloved by waves of utilization and
discard
only after much usage, kept nearby as a token of
our appreciation, only to be dumped unceremoniously
when the
memories grow overly fulsome
Why you think I reference the common kitchen garbage?
*No, no! why it is our brain,
that be cleansed nightly,
leaving only the wisps of life aprior,
that reruns in wisps, only sometimes,
for better or for worse*,
recycle-able

one step outside
and thousand thoughts in my head
five feet distance to maintain
the mask, check
the gloves, check
can I breath, I don't know
my heart pounding, yes
it is crazy, I know
but paranoia won't go
Empty streets, here I come
got to stock up the essentials

One hates oneself
for what
one has ever done
One hates oneself
for all
the never done
One even hates oneself
for fantasies
one might have not yet done
One hates oneself
for hating
all of it
But still calling it on
and on
unavoidably wanting it
The one is me
the one is you
come, break through

Wash
"I will"
Change your underwear
"I have"
Be grateful
"I am"
OK, then
I love you
"I love you, too"

I want to focus on the good with you
I want to simmer all of what is us, and wait for the excess to evaporate
with all it gone I can see the basics
you make me smile
making you laugh makes me feel warm
the sound of your voice is one of the best sounds on earth
my world feels aligned when I’m with you
you make me happy
these are the basics
the bare essentials of what makes up you and I
And it’s all I need

I gave you all the efforts I can give
Made you happy by bestowing you gifts
All these just for a smile
And attention undivided
I hate to break it to you
But this is wrong
What this is, is not love
And by doing such, we should stop
For love is one can't buy
No material thing can compare
For it is by choice, not by debt
For it is felt, not taken
If this continues
Love won't last
For nothing is permanent
And will eventually fade
So let me say it in a simpler way
Love can't be bought, buying is ownership
I don't want either of us owning each other
I want us to love one another
