"I am sorry but I won't remember any of your names",
what a delight, you go and scribble them down, on plastic cups,
Another set of circumstantial phrases
Break the ice, shake all those hands,
Do it again.
You were in the hallway going up and down, nervous anxious.
After all you didn’t see my palms.
So I am sorry, if I can't feel the words making their way out between my teeth.
Carrying this burden makes me grind them, so much, I had to pull all them out,
my mouth, to release air and say what I wanted to say.
“Well, You let us down, if I could frame that solidarity we breathe up till there, we will put in our living room above the fireplace.”
And the pain is insurmountable and the anesthetic has already gone.
dim the light, in fact change the bulb,
There is no such thing as demonstrate
To be someone to abide or better yourself,
No one is going to remember you.

These fucking wolves,
Looming at our doorstep,
waiting for us to show.
There is a distinct need for stronger opinions,
I wish I was more of an arse,
Huge blues skies, faded to grey, night.
that is how much I love to control things.
Carrying on like this the least I could do is to become
world champion at flipping tables.

I really like the idea of shattered glass but hate the sound.
The only news thread I’d see this week,
Is by staring into the texture of this carpet,
am I the only one who reads “stay inside” on all the pages?
There is a chance a fight just a little fight,
Before I break a sweat, if I end up with a sore
cheek and a broken lip, I don't want to see any blood on the table,
just leave it there, on that coaster."
A couple of years back,
I became part of my own furniture
I was extremely attached to it.
I would be renowned for my brilliant technique, the best at fucking shit up,
The man is not showing emotions,
My hands so quick, my thoughts are so weak
Adrenaline of the first quality.
I brush my teeth for at least 25 minutes, 3 times a day,
it is not time wasted it is money saved on medical expenses

And then he went and wrote another
20000 words essay on something clever
and we discussed it, between us
for days, across all the platforms.
Everyone is so opinionated,
and barely realizes
that we already kind of knew all of that before.
It’s the answer to the wrong question,
and it is pointless because no one else
get to understand it.
You were sensitive and cultured enough but kept it to yourselves.
(Don’t keep it to yourself)
You see, it should be made public,
instead, stays in circles,
debates and bars, but then again
all I see is fingers towards a solution,
and it is all figured out in our heads.
What virtue is there in weakness, is there in kindness.

I am glad I make obvious mistakes,
So I can recognise them, It is quite nice to be fallible, get lost,
and not know already what to do.
I don’t speak just to change your views,
don't think to be vocal,
eradicate doubts and bury them with intricate wording.
That would be blatantly wrong otherwise you look like you are misinformed,
we don't fight a real battle,
we are just very careful in not offending anyone.
Road rage road rage
Blacked out. Collapsed on the curb,
Hands and heads usually hold each other together.
feels like my heart is ready to come out
and it is pulsing right next to my face.
I don’t know how the weather reports were not live this week,
It rained so much, no roof could have protected me,
also we don’t have anything else to talk about right now.
I breathe with my mouth wide open,
and what I smell is just fucking beautiful.
Let's not care about who we are,
let’s take first impressions as good and decisive.
Stumble upon a good trait, and then change your mind
and demonstrate you did learn something

The complexity of all the thoughts you had,
that is how you got where you’re at, the process of how you form an idea.
How intricate has anyone to be,
to be in your head and get into your line of reasoning,
how is anyone supposed to get so deep?
But without excavator, the most you can get out
is what you gather from an over polite conversation around that table on Christmas day.
Now weigh the words, because they are being weighed as you speak.
If I could find the right words to make a compelling argument
out of nowhere at any given time, I would be the winner that I am not.
and you slowly realise the detachment gap is wider and further apart than a gasp,
you could not grasp how differently everyone is devolving.
We all span around and outward until we barely need each other,
it's frustrating.

La Noche de los lápices

Another endless night, remember
that time you cracked my head wide open,
abruptly, poured yourself inside and left me hanging, dazed,
not being able to count or sleep.
No I don’t remember an endless night
because I know it will end
No I have never seen a skull, or someone lost.
To have to endure this face in any mirror,
I faced it for the last six months,
there is nothing fun about this.
Scrutiny after scrutiny people keep on
Make assumptions and we are kind of forced to believe because we say so.
We went from
worrying about futile to being useless.
Unintentionally have had a positive opinion for everyone,
said dashing things, merely changed the words,
though in my head took different directions each time.
Indeed I have done it again.

I always assume that shit is not going to happen to me,
and then when it does happen,
I just shrug it off with my shoulders my head tilts,
looking powerless, I will slide it off of you as well if you want to look disgusted
I don't want to have anything to do with it.
Being focused on ourselves
And then always rely on somebody else.
Another rant, we do all know that is his personality,
I do personally think he is kind of a dick.
I'd dig deep whenever possible, it’s just that I don't have enough time to do so, but in my dreams I am always undefeated.
Distorting figures to make our own version, you think of something, but the reality won't ever resemble the thought.
