The sweet and foul odours
The same as you

Of blood exchanges in corpuscle energies
Transmitted

On immediacy
Existential
In its poetry

Became so afraid of the sexuality of women

Or was it just men who became afraid

Trapping and turning beauty into pornography
To suit the idealism of a capitalistic

 Heart filled with Puppy love
and hymns sung beneath
Daddy's watchful eye.

Love drowned in Jack and coke
before he was thee years old.
No harmony...

I took an odd and winding
route... While bustling
they had no time
to wonder what
I was about 

Far removed from
fluorescent gleam

For something brilliant to replace the former night.

I am for want of a better explanation
A stupid and inconsiderate man

For all my confessions I profess to love
I am selfish
Thoughtless

Poetry I write deceives my heart
