“The truth is that everyone is bored, and devotes himself to cultivating habits.

Albert Camus

A Game for Two

Cold numbed the tip of
her ass
outside the reach of the
heat
to release tension
people were
fucking
pressed together for a kiss they would never finish.
People were always
blaming her
they were just jealous
Nobody ever really loved a lover.
She liked
their white bed,
From the outside it looked like death.

"But sitting there with all of these people looking at me and saying, 'This is what it would look like,' is crazy, because a script is already a description of a thing. It's a description of a movie. So to be describing a description of a thing...it's just existential madness to me, you know?" - Guinevere Turner

Gold. For the longest I couldn’t quite put into words why the act of pitching was so irksome to me, so thank you Guinevere Turner, thank you very much.
