Screen Dump 743

Lately you've been lapse . . . and why is that? . . .
The intricacies of intimacy
with you elsewhere retooling your philosophy . . .
Nietzsche's We have art so we don't die of reality? . . .
Is that it? . . . OK, I'll play along
with the casual dress code
but now what? . . . now you're complaining
because you're telling me
that complaining kickstarts creating
and isn't that what we're all about? . . .
Like listening to someone's words
as if on the noisy soundstage of a silent film
or listening to a serial open mic reader
whose words supply a different narrative
every time someone texts
or listening to your own words
dress-coded for undertow with boxy takeaway . . .
Illusory, perhaps? . . .
Reupping with the help of an intimacy coach should do it . . .
