ROMANCE PART 2

You realize how austerely trivial it is 

to change your outfit twice and again

and so unnaturally significant that you

always have to move across the room

You hate a clock since it sometimes stops

and jumps hours at a time and time becomes

arbitrary like it does in eternity

as you compete with modernity

You want to dream out loud so that all

can hear how great it is to be awake and you

hate to sleep since it robs away

the precious banters of the day

You want to pour over two coffees

at a café and never stop speaking because 

you never have to worry that you will

become steady, bored, tired or still

You are truthfully waiting to lose your mind

because you fully embrace your folly

as you position a final stance

when you experience your first romance.
