Elaine Sun
mechanisms
i
You Are So Beautiful is something only heard directly before sex
and I Love You is something entirely different from I Am In Love With You
and i know these things, so now
i will only dream of people i have never met
and each morning i will feel some absurd sense of loss
ii
remind me,
how does a person utilize body language and tone of voice and diction such that their conversational partner does not accidentally think that the person wants to be anywhere but there?
i seem to have forgotten
i think it may have something to do with the fact that
everything is beginning to look small
and blurry
iii
you have become
a little selfish
and strange
and now
the meanings of the words
Always
and
Never
have escaped me
and now
spoken words
can no longer be relied upon
so here is a pen
here is my body
