You’re like a toy I could never have.
Everyone else has one but I don’t play
Games anymore. Now that I’m all
Grown up and ready to seize the world

By myself, naturally. A heroine has
Simply too many obligations to make
Time for love and nonsense. Too many
Boxes to check off on her road to someplace

Especially on Sundays. But at night,
She sometimes thinks about the other
Side as she drowns herself in wine and
Long dead poets who, perhaps, knew better.

She does not have to “feel because she
thinks”. And since she’s got no patience
for people, she is in love with ideas.
Naturally sleeps alone next to anyone.
