“And look, those books on the shelf / have really turned their backs on us”
“I come out / of the cathedral with dirty hands. / I touched all the marble / to see if it / was real or painted”
“I leant over the well / and asked the water./ ‘Why am I here?’ / ‘Come down, I’ll tell you,’ it replied. “
He looks around for / a fire, a tragedy, police, / so early on a Monday morning / when the world seems / a brittle and fragile place.
God this poetry’s made me so horny / it’s made me forget my own existence
A monster is never something from the future / despite the lingering fear you might become one.
