HOW IT GOES

when you are tired of women who are not enough
you will find me

but you will say i am too much
and you will look for less

and then you will meet someone you barely know
who keeps her mouth shut
and you will get her pregnant
and then you'll have a family
and maybe a wife
and then you'll hate your wife
when she starts to open her mouth

and you will look for someone else
more
or
less

BLACK STRIP

UNREQUITED LOVE HAS FINALLY PLACED A BLACK
STRIP ACROSS YOUR FACE IN MY MIND

ITS SINGLE MERCIFUL ACT

I CAN NO LONGER DISTINGUISH YOU
FROM ANYONE ELSE WHO NEVER LOVED ME
