Sweater Apocalypse

and each of you
is a reminder to the earth
of what it's capable of
You all the reasons,
jumping, rational, lackadaisical, irrational
you are ceaseless sieges
on the city of Joy
the reason Agamemnon went to Troy
you light of gods
efface yourself
at the knees of yourself
intelligence
is not a discipline
it is an experience
allow it to explode
destroy buildings
I'm sorry  I hurt your feelings
did i lose that sweater
or did it
lose me
?

And language was invented so people could lie
don't just say i love you
let your love perspire and fly
it is the most profound gymnastics
and incredible calisthenics
let me pole vault you
let me cartwheel into your beauty
in an ideal love affair
we never have to say "i love you"
stuttered birth, ohbythewayiloveyou

sweaters that are loneliness
which is a delusion
sweaters that emasculate
creating confusion
a giant expression melting into suppression
a giant sweater of lycra
sweaters of spandex
sweaters of knitwear
creating the reason that Caesar went to Gaul
we dont see the sweater
walk thru the sweater
the sweater that murders the mirage
the sweaters that take over our lives
and remind us
that we dont like the way that we walk
Walk thru the sweater apocalypse and find your own warmth
