how to live the high life when you are poor
how to live the high life when you are poor
.
everything is thrilling
we are talking about being bound and I say but I never understand the relationship between relaxation and excitation and you say
that’s the point
I tell you about the time in the park with the ribbons in the sky
the ties we choose the ties we don’t
send your birds out as swifts and they come back as chickens
.
and I say remember when you get thin and there is this moment where everyone wants to go to bed with you
(well, actually, you are too lean for the vegan scientists, who like a bit of meat)
heightened
you are pure allure when you don’t know what you want
the dust that enlivens
.
remember that girl on the tube
so out of it
and talking about her state
someone says I remember that
and we are all concerned
this elderly Japanese couple help her off
she trips her heel on the plate
something taken too early, her anxiety
who will I talk to do I matter what do I look like who am I
the train pulls away
at right-angles, sitting
either side, holding her, patient on plastic seats
unbelievable kindness in this world
.
and all the best things are free
even if some of them cost you
dormant,
you will never be allowed to forget those states where you forgot
or, they will never forget you
every desire you ever had
your cells have feelings too
and if everything is drugs
how come you still want drugs
have you ever tried sitting really, really still
it’s even more fun when you can’t do it
