Dear Diary of Martin X - 09/10/2016



Why is she looking at me funny 
This one's streaked 
with a pink 
Lead 
As thin as the line 
Between a dog and a whale 
That one's gaze 
Surreptitious 
Keeps bumping against the redness of his nose 
Like his glasses fell off
And he didn't notice yet 
Everyone is merging with the ether 
Isn't that a synonym for death? 
Everything will be recorded 
On a block of plastic 
Reiterating the Big Bang 
All our paltry faults 
Will be scattered to the stars
Illuminating the universe 
A variety of Christmas cards 
Frosty patterns on a broken window 
And the hubcaps of a hearse 
With their twinkle twinkle 
Little chrome
She's getting off the metro now 
Going home
Maybe that's why she
Was looking at me 
Our legs are the same colour 
Purple 
Hers and his
As into the tunnel 
The metro 
hurtles
Towards the abyss.
