if it could ever slip into real summer, then maybe i could too. as is. but you be lean and reticent, city and season, and i have no reason to change, either.
last night i dreamt i was in a pool for so many hours and the cars whizzed around the curves and I was in LA but i’m not sure if the suburbs look like that in LA there were men who got up and read jack kerouac and pulled my love letters and poems out of my folders but i hadn’t slept with them and they pulled them out and read them anyway and everyone applauded but it wasn’t theirs when i have dreams where people are writing and reading the words are so clear and i wake up and they’re not there anymore all week i have these dreams filled with fake animals who like to get their noses scratched movie reels that go off in my head because i’m nowhere to be found in the dream food that i don’t eat people who aren’t real and maybe are moving muscles based in memories but i wake up and they’re still plummeting the other direction and its these dreams and the colors and the lack of me and the blood in the swimming pool, the deviled eggs and clotted cream, that make me wake up exhausted
mix for this morning: in which blackberries are lost; painkillers are found; houses are dirty; brothers don’t wake up; eyes are swollen; coffee boils out the stomach lining; the lungs are collapsing because of heat or sportsbras or cigarettes or lack thereofs; you cleaned the floor two days ago and the milk spilled anyway; its pride weekend and maybe you forgot how to dance

and went out & got laid
Then died and got buried
in a coffin in the grave,
Man—
Yet everything is perfect,
Because it is empty,
Because it is perfect
With emptiness,
Because it’s not even happening.” —
113th Chorus from Mexico City Blues
Jack Kerouac
