I realized what's wrong with me these days
I have been spending too much time in the city
And it's too many barbecues too many espressos with special beans from never before heard of countries
too many I'm fine how are you I'm good
...

How come we kissed so many times
and I don’t remember any
I see all these couples at the beach
I see you
...

I asked Beethoven but all he said
was let's explore some d minor
and the cat kept staring at me
meowing Nietsche said
...

All of a sudden you see
a taxi in the living room
it's pills, you say, it's society
putting me through this misery
...

O how i love you
Being awake at such different times
Doesn't seem to make a difference
Doesn't seem to make a difference
...

I wanted to write you a note
that said I love you as much as the houses
and the trees
and the sea
...

Sitting on a plastic chair
in the waiting room
sucking the tip of my pen
it's almost
...

It is only when he moves away and I
move into the past that I become
a person in his mind, someone who was
instead of someone who has to be kept
...

Here there is no phone
The sun, the baby in his carriage
chews on his hat, the table
with the candle on it, off, a glass
...
