Apathy (usually comes in an unknown 2am shade of green. I breathe in its amorous amorality and recede into the depths of a black dinner jacket. She shudders when I say f*** the neo-fascists and place my hands in my heart. Colourblindness was the twelfth symptom of her illness, sanguine, half-prophetic, she touches the chemicals, and we dance away the night. One more crisis, she often forgets to help me shift back into the world again)…

Sometimes I hear only fragments of conversations from nearby tables while she plays the itinerant invalid on the barstool next to me. She. Remains. I never allow more than one foot to dangle helplessly in the air. Irrelevant. There is something so quotidian about this indifferent eavesdropping five minutes before the vague neutrality of a barman shifts us out into the street.

“Words should only be used for the cause…" "Her variation on blindness was caused by the smoke that rose and then settled from the first book burning…" "The painting on that wall was an original Renoir before Matthew spraypainted it black…" "The front door was also painted black…" "My jacket was once a Quixotic shade of black, now it's just one more myth we use to explain creation…"

Certainly more intriguing than lots of the writing on here. It's not clear what is going, on or who these characters are, but I still want to spend more time in their company.

Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap!

I give it a standing ovation!

But I just feel like it makes too much sense. If it made less sense it would be better.
