i love love love:
writing
wind up robots
bright red nailpolish
1960s carpet
thunderstorms in summer
music that makes your heart skip and your brain go tingly and you can't help smiling all funny
little silver deer brooches
super hot bloody marys
crazy crazy kitty cats
vinegar on chips
crying at movies
sewing cute little skirts
dancing like i mean it
interactive art
nooners
the little plastic leia
cooking while drinking red
compu pu pu pu pu pu pu puter games
watching tv in bed
the fool who loves me
I'd like to meet:
I’ve Dreamed of You So Much
Robert Desnos
I've dreamed of you so much that you're losing your reality.
Is it already too late for me to embrace your literal, living and breathing physical body
and to kiss that mouth which is the birthplace of that voice which is so dear to me?
I've dreamed of you so much that my arms--which have become accustomed to lying
crossed upon my own chest after attempting to encircle your shadow— might not be able to unfold again to embrace the contours of your literal form, perhaps
So that coming face-to-face with the actual incarnation of what has haunted me and ruled me and dominated my life for so many days and years
Might very well turn me into a shadow.
Oh equilibriums of the emotional scales!
I've dreamed of you so much that it might be too late for me to ever wake up again.
I sleep on my feet, body confronting all the usual phenomena of life and love and yet
when it comes to you--you, the only being on the planet who matters to me now--
I can no more touch your face and lips than I can those of the next random passerby.
I've dreamed of you so much, have walked and talked and slept so much with your
phantom presence that perhaps the only thing left for me to do now
Is to become a phantom among phantoms, a shadow a hundred times more shadowy
than
that shifting shape which moves and which will go on moving,
stepping lightly and happily across the sundial of your life.
if you're going to bite down don't bite so hard did you know your vagrance smells like tin when my back is turned when i've had one too many when your words mean absolutely nothing and a grant that came that granted shit how can you sit i hope you don't sleep i hope you like listening to music made for girls.
