Because it is endless night where
I am leading you . I have had enough
Of these yous . Boredom has decreed
The universe is angry, licking
The green purple and blue from a
Butterfly's wings. Once I believed
Everyone had smelled it. And then
All of a sudden when I did something
They did something and when
I went out they wanted to know where.
As if morning had reared its ugly
Head. As in I don't care, this is
Where the new life begins. 0 lethargy
When you whisper my name I come running.
But if tin soldiers have rights
In the inanimate structure of things,
Then let my inertia speak for them.
" Ah, radiant green weed drifts
In a crystal bowl where goldfish live.
I am in love .
It
is not like singing; it is
Instrumental, sounds lying .
I am lying.
I am lying paralyzed on your veranda,
Parallel to the earth
Which is taking advantage of me,
Like an old story in which
You aspire to nothing more than everything .
Someone please come
Take these clothes off of me,
I can't feel them anymore.
You are putting on airs as though to be
Confusion in the midst of irrational sanity .
I am bored with you.
My name is Maria, I am nine years old."
