one arches the back. one rolls his shoulders, cracks his knuckles. looks towards the ceiling, breathes in.

girls complain that they can’t find a good guy. guys complan that they can’t find a good girl. everyone stands around with their hands in their pockets. our tastes are all so exquisite, and the price of rejection so high.

the savagery of blithe indifference. the horror of a flickering, dismissive glance, over the edge of a martini glass.

trailing behind the pack. breaking ahead. all metered by invisible scales, tipped in salary, horsepower, height, weight, breast size, dick size. weighed against the single feather of ma’at.

you’re the best i’ve ever had. no one meant anything up until you. no one meant anything up until you. and you, and you. and you.

you’re the most important thing in the world. i’ll love you forever, only if you love me first.

do you like me? check yes/no/quit stalking me. in saudi arabia, teenagers in lincoln navigators drive up to a stoplight, roll down their windows, and pepper neighboring cars with rolled up wads of paper, containing phone numbers.

absurd. ab·surd adj. meaningless. irrational.

rose petals. astroturf. we have walls that we desire, so much, to be razed and conquered. fuck, what a retarded notion. i wish someone could explain how any of this makes any kind of sense.
