Noelle Staudt Poem
Love is like ”oh sorry I forgot you by accident.”
I just close my eyes without stress
It's the aching in my painful instability that just makes me ask myself why? Why do I try?
As love comes and steps on my foot in the one silent moment I’ve gathered for myself.
Relentless.
It's not that it's stupid - It’s just coming off as stupid.
Why?
Why take a moment to think this hard, it’s debilitating.
Why not just take people out, and cash checks?
Now, it's only a figment of my imagination
This is what reminds me to take this second to close my eyes and still,
Still
Stupidity.
Is love stupid?
Probably, I’m actually starting to believe it is...
I hate the idea of it.
Hahaha stupid me - don't cure this stupid anymore.
Do what you did, forget... Keep it moving
Don't bathe in turmeric and watch it hit the globe as the cure to cancer
Don't even tell him about it.
That's better
Stupid, being stupid,
I laugh by myself inside while my foot became the next stepping stone in his life.

Noelle Staudt Poem
I've never taken a position.
You see me but I see you inside of it.
I look at what it is that scares me about you.
One person should do this.
I don't expect you to understand what they wanted.
No one wanted this.
Everyone wanted this.
This metal?
This ribbon of honor?
It's what you're looking for?
They slice my soul for this?
Where is my soul?
Better yet, run.
I always thought it was simple
There's you and me - there's also time but he gets dizzy all the time...but you get it right?
No, why would it have...
It's been too long,
Many people died.
All this love all over the place,
Not even looking, just to give it to someone.
It's such a sack of crap.
Meanwhile that person who believes so dearly walks in front of a train.
