“I like the nothingness that dressed up as you

for the duration of the masquerade”

 

“I like the old cinema we leave in the evening

you remember that French actress

she had a certain je ne sais quoi

until the very FIN”

 

“I like to read Baudelaire after our parting

on the last day of October

the public like a dog recoils from perfume

wants to savor excrement”
