I.

where have you gone now?

II.

standing in a room with everyone once so lovely, now so cheap.
with their pants down around their ankles and their eyes: so vacant.

"did you get all the pretty presents that you wanted?"

did you? did you?
did you get the pretty presents?
can you feel the petty present?

"this is ___. you must know him. you live in the same squabble town. haven't you met him on the train?"

underground, underwater? in the bell jar? in the beehive? in the bar?

"can't you breathe? is the knife too shallow?
let me put it in -

deeper, deeper."

III.

let's strangle each other to death!

"your neck so thin."
"your hands so strong."

(the kind of neck i'd love to choke. the kind of girl i'd love to stroke).

IV.

Didn't you want me all at once? Don't you?

Don't you love me? Don't you?

Why not? Why not? Why not?
