The Life the World Does Notwant Us To Have

The Life the World doesn’t Want Us to Have We can’t have bubble baths. Not tonight. There’s a whole world out there and it’s trouble. Dishes are soaking in the tub. The water looks like wet clay and we don’t want our bodies in it. The only reason we die is because we haven’t found the right person to be afraid with. All we do is make love on the lawn with weasels. When we are done licking men beyond reason we’re lonely. All they left were the lights off.
