I'm not crying, you're crying đ
my eyes are only sweating
Kellyâs response to Larissaâs piece from last week, âDostoevskyâs Crime and Punishment, but the crime is Iâve been a very bad girl and the punishment is a good spankingâ
I'm not crying, you're crying đ
dear _______, Â
(if thatâs even your real name)
you know whatâs a trap?Â
measuring affectionÂ
in time spentÂ
pick up the phoneÂ
itâs ringing unbridledÂ
fun is most often pinkÂ
putting velvet years
between usÂ
doesnât mean I donâtÂ
love you đ
Iâm just a difficultÂ
rose to place, reallyÂ
these arenât tearsÂ
my eyes are only
sweating they keepÂ
the confusionÂ
in the nomenclatureÂ
on purposeÂ
remember whenÂ
I was the heroine?
smart & newÂ
& content underÂ
any condition
now I only payÂ
attentionÂ
to the questionsÂ
they donâtÂ
ask itâs funnyÂ
how bored we getÂ
without a role to play
but itâs good
to have a battle
cry like, help!
every time I try
to say goodbyeÂ
I hear a noise
that sounds like
an octopusÂ
swallowingÂ
an ice cubeÂ
& Iâve triedÂ
to plug my earsÂ
with salami
but my friendsÂ
are afraid toÂ
ask me what
I think this side of
Jupiter stopped
carrying the convoÂ
long ago now
itâs quiet hereÂ
but I must believeÂ
in my contradictionsÂ
because theyâre stillÂ
out there growingÂ
in our garden
See you next week đ
Nice. You are guiding me through a world I know nothing about. Thanks.
