suburbs do a pretty good job of taking care of themselves


I am a free woman
oh what a feeling
what a beautiful tingling wing-spreading kiss of life.

A free woman
of almost 29 summers.

Seen as a selfish bitch
the one who will never be happy
the one who will never be loved by anyone
[die alone; in despair;
surrounded by cats,
and all that jazz]

Well- told she was.
Just before I stood for the same1
with my own two feet
two hands
two lobes.

A heart. 
For loving the ones who understand.
For loving the ones of wicked games
Of night-poetries, of star-shaping
Of passion.

How do you mean, climb up that hill?
Don't you see its steep, and there is no stairs?

How do you mean, don't?

How do you mean,
compromise what you are
For the silver cutlery
And the safe little house in suburbs
[with a Latin gardener on the side
and the vanished dreams which eat you 
piece by piece
till only the empty shell remains]

How do you mean, sell them?
How do you mean, "how much"?

A free woman
of almost 29 summers
Does not bargain
her passion
does not bargain
her mission
You won't find my dream on ebay.

And the cats? 

Well, the cats
Come in all shapes and forms.

Don't get me wrong: 
I am scared and terrified of future
But
on the other hand
I always was.

;)
