no idea what i thought when i saw yr picture the first time
i thought of paris
jardin du luxembourg
pale frogs sunning themselves in the november cold
the pale cream earth of the good arrondisements
visiting yr sarcophagus next door at the tombes des grands hommes
100 years y.a.d.
get myself a treat of jeff de bruges chocolate crepes first before the inevitable
doom and tears
i thought of what's in yr head
and what's besides
what's at the tip of yr shoes
kicking the air
into submissions
maybe that's what you're into, submissions
after all, in the drama of life
aren't we all wannabe
dominatrices?
i thought of the standard factory-issue green bench
of painting it the red of yr labia
or maybe the red of yr mania
what do i know
what do i know
about paints and sinners?
i thought of the papparazzo
hiding behing a bush
yr complicity in the whole affair
yr dragging the sun, trees, la mer
into the vortex of yr (finish this sentence yrself)
i thought of many things
things that had happened to me
things that had not happened
things that might've happened
things that might not be
in this world
but the picture is just there
perfect
not saying a word
kicking leaves off mother earth's soil

with the tip of her pink elephant print sneakers
i took pictures of people
ReplyDeletebecause i saw sleepless nights
endless journeys and loveless lives
in their 1.3 megapixels eyes
i took pictures of people
because i loved the way
they work breathe and play
under their 1.3 megapixels skies
i took pictures of people
wondering what my smile would be
in their 1.3 megapixels hearts
