Sabrina's Solar Plexus

"You were frightening, sinister, You put everything into it I took a step back You get better every time How good can you get?"   People are scared of fish eyes They confuse, stun, fascinate Coldly indifferent Fish eyes Sucked dry of life fish eyes...   Sabrina was unselfish, Unselfconscious, Devoted, unabashed, Spontaneous, A purring lioness: "Yes," she said, "I can imagine people Wanting to possess you."   People are scared of fish eyes; They confuse, stun, fascinate; Coldly indifferent Fish eyes; Sucked dry of life fish eyes...   Sabrina said: "I'm sorry; I'm just possessive I'm frightened of my feelings You'll miss me a little, Won't you? You should read Lenz. I'm sure you'd Identify With the main character."   People are scared of fish eyes; They confuse, stun, fascinate; Coldly indifferent Fish eyes; Sucked dry of life fish eyes.   Have I written about the Crack-up? When I came home Empty-handed And I just couldn't Articulate For latent tears. But am I so repelled By intimacy? When will someone Get me there (the solar Plexus) as Sabrina said. People are scared of fish eyes; They confuse, stun, fascinate; Coldly indifferent Fish eyes; Sucked dry of life fish eyes. (Thanks to the large quantity of notes I committed to paper while at college in London, my beloved college can live again through sundry writings forged out of them, such as the above, in which all names have been changed.)
