first course
do you know
i felt i had glass eyes
poring stupidly over the world
as they would a blank page
all the people of a fixed direction
souls as stifled as letters confined to words
just 'this' and 'that' and 'futility'
what can i do for them?
what is omniscience behind spectacles?
i told heavy-handed women that they do not own gold
that it owns them
but they laughed and compared diamonds
(they had lustreless eyes)
i climbed onto the roof of a car dealership
and shrieked
that the passenger capacity of an SUV could not matter
when you had no friends to fill it
(they couldn't hear me over the roaring of the engines)
if they are to be ink
then i will set them free
(i spilt them)

when you had no friends to fill it
it reminded me of fight club, if fight club were told by women with curves.

Like that made sense.
I think the last three lines are what most sticks with me.
Nice examples for the meaning, expressed in a really concise, poetic way.

support someone else

it tells a huge story with very few words.
it feels like drowning in oxygen, a bare reminder of the bones of a better time.
it's good. very different.
