Chair

We are sitting in a Chinese restaurant. We ordered at the counter and then we sat here.
I have nothing to say but I start talking anyway. I start
Asking what you’ve done since I saw you last.
We tell each other what we’ve done since we saw each other
Last.
Obsession is too Roman for us, Vanity is too Hollywood
We can look into each other’s eyes whenever we like.
Face to face I can’t appreciate because
I only miss when I’m alone.
Do you understand what a beautiful creature I am do you love me enough to keep it a secret to leak it
Onto the floor and say you don’t know how the fire began and trust that I will understand
Well that’s the way I’d like it done
closed door lit by setting sun, anyone can respect the well kept
And giving just enough is an art, when taming an animal it is important to withhold some reward;
It will hate you and worship you mildly.
It won’t steal it; no one will steal what they can earn from someone they relate to
This way, the day the sun rises on the opposite side of the Earth you are bathed in the dawn of creation
And who can appreciate waking as equals more
Than lonely master and carnivore
