pre/You being tall slender pretty and 18
Think too much of me
As I preach the dialectic of Bakunin and communist anarchy Dionysus and Apollo’s forces and their impact on poetry ;
Or how the only Christian died on the cross and I doubt his divinity yet not being anymore then superficially knowledgeable about Nietzsche ;
Or when I expound on JK and Turtle Island the dead in Iraq, the books I’ve read, the movies I’ve seen all the places and things I be that make it grand to be me.

Of course you being tall and pretty and 18 sitting across from me making eye contact only when your supposed to be looking at the speaker—but always gazing at me—I don’t mind it much—but like Hefling says prolonged eye contact isn’t really my lunch.

You being nearly tall as me is very much a turn on.


But Still I get this feeling you think too much of me—

like an Emerson quote sent to me about those who have style are often lacking any sort of personal identity and I wrote a strange story back on a napkin like science fiction;

like reading the report the psychiatrist wrote about being pleasant looking and apparently above average intelligence;

like looking back at my pictures of girlfriends from high school one being a short difficult attractive redhead another (blonde) reading Rushdie.


You being tall and pretty and 18 don’t remind of those things—
